They are definitely nutritious.

Yet you clamed they were all fat when they are less than 10% fat?
So what special nutrition are you claiming?

25% of the fatty acids in human gray matter is DHA, an omega 3 fatty
acid. Some fats are essential to human nutrition, namely PUFAs (omega 6
and omega 3).

Certainly you have heard that trans fats and saturated fats are harmful
in large amounts.

Everything is harmful in large amounts. Trans-fats are harmful even in
pretty small amounts. The same cannot be said for saturated fats.

But the worst thing is too many calories and the inevitable obesity.
So where would you cut these calories from? Fat intake, if it is above
30% of your caloric intake? That's where the best "bang for the buck"
lies in the calories reduction stakes.

The body burns equal amounts of calories of carbohydrates and fatty
acids when exercising, so it would make more sense to just cut fat
intake to be slightly less than carb intake on a calorie basis. Cut out
the fats that aren't metabolized well such as the trans fats and
saturated fats.
