Google is a tool
like a knife. If you don't know how to use it, you can cut yourself.
In a world, there children can't avoid knifes, children should be thought how to use them safely.
Google returning nonsense results can be exploited as a teachable moment. That is why non-practical questions such as the one about gravity and atmosphere are useful, they encourage developing more widely applicable skills (healthy skepticism) while stakes are low.
