You're right, but calibre doesn't make the stuff up it acquires all that junk from the WYSIWYG styling all throughout the Word html. Word is directly responsible for all the crap.

Using CSS is industry standard for any html not just epub. The css makes a web document much easier to manage.

Since this is a calibre forum you can now just right click on the book and use calibre's tweak epub feature instead of winrar.
CSS is used to define many things in a document, removing the css will often cause you to lose most or all styling and formatting. What you end up with is a lump of text wrapped in a epub. But if you have one of those epubs created from a Word source file then it might be a good idea before you process it with calibre.
