Do you think the bucketized bean protein powder extracted from peas might be bad for you? Well eat the freaking peas I bet those taste better as well.
That's like telling folks to simply eat wheat instead of bread or to eat oatmeal instead of the cereal flakes made from it. These aren't things that you can simply substitute: Pea protein gives variety of texture and allows folks to eat food they grew up with even though they no longer subscribe to that diet. Yes, there is room in the diet for both things, just like there is room for both bread and cracked wheat and other whole grains.
There is more to food than simply nutrition and glossing over this is a fault that needs addressed.
And it is obvious that you've not eaten it.
If you disagree with these things... don't eat them. Simple as that.
