I understand you might not be interested in that, but these built-in fonts allow those who wish to read Japanese and Chinese. Jingxihei I assume is for Chinese (and relatively new). Tsukushi Mincho and Kakugo are for Japanese. Since Rakuten bought Kobo, they have been supporting Japanese language and more recently also supporting Chinese.

They can however also be used with languages based on the latin alphabet. So they are not totally useless and there is not really any more reason to shun them than to shun other fonts you happen to dislike from an aesthetic perspective.
They could be of use if they could use the advanced settings, but they are not. So that’s why I don’t understand why they are in the list.
