I think you’re misunderstanding the context I was replying to.
Of course a minor third is important to a minor scale. But if the underlying harmony happens to be a major chord, then the minor third is dissonant relative to the harmony.
I referred to this dissonance as a passing tone because you said “ There’s no way that combination can possibly work—but it does!”.
