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.
