The study clearly claims that eating eggs is inversely correlated with CVD/IHD. How does that not bear on their healthiness?

It's not inversely correlated. The relationship is non-linear, how does that bear on their healthiness?

Unlike strawberries where relationship is linear, unlike many other vegetables. Put a healthy exercising population and the correlation disappears, I guess foods are no longer healthy in that case.

Swap inversely with negatively. How does that change anything?

It's not negatively correlated, they have not measured the effects of >1 egg/day. It doesn't change anything. Saying that the food is healthy is vacuous.

Eating 1 egg per day for the average member of the measured population seems to be healthy. It does not mean eggs by themselves are healthy or unhealthy.
