Sure, you can pick even numbers in either scale that are awkward decimals in the other. I just prefer the ten degree bands of the Fahrenheit scale for these ranges.

To the identical 5 degrees range of the Celsius scale ?

It's not really identical though. Like I said, Fahrenheit is higher resolution at these scales so that is an advantage. It doesn't mean everyone should convert to F. Just that both systems have benefits. If I changed my perception of the world to C I wouldn't actually gain anything, personally, in the context of weather and HVAC.
If I need to take measurements while boiling water or making ice then I would probably use C.

It's exactly the same. The perception you have on Fahrenheit is exactly the same anyone using Celsius have, with multiples of 5 instead of 10
Or, you know, 20, 15, 5, 30 and 40 instead of the arbitrary decimals you chose to use to prove your point
