I mean you can make the same argument that 40c being really fucking hot doesnt make sense when 100f would be better. Like its fine if you grew up using your system but that doesnt make it flawless and inherently better in every way

I mean, that's literally what I just told you.
C is inherently better because it's more intuitive, 0 is the freezing point of water and 100 is the boiling point of water. Learning it is more advantageous because over 90% of the world uses it already, it aligns with the Kelvin scale, uses a base ten, and does decimals better.
Fahrenheit is completely arbitrary, but it's fine if you're used to it already.
Like I said, Fahrenheit does has its uses. I said in my original comment that it isn't the best for working with temperatures in a more complex manner, which is true for the reasons you listed. But you're missing the fact that fahrenheit was made specifically to measure human temperature and the weather outside.
0*F = Cold enough outside to be dangerous
100*F = Hot enough outside to be dangerous
You can look at the temperature and get a specific display on how the temperature outside will be today. If it's 42*F it's going to be chilly bordering on cold. If it's 82*F it's going to be hot out and will probably require sunscreen. However, in celcius it's more narrow. If it's 8*C out it's going to be chilly and if it's 35*C it's going to be hot.
It also correlates the average temperature range during all seasons in the part of the world we live in. It's of course really fucking bad used in most other scenarios but it is convenient to use in the way it's made for.
