One thing is calling for all those specific fonts. Unless they are on the device, the device will substitute its own best guess. Embedding them may be illegal or costly. This is an Adobe article on embedding:

It is not critical to clean up with stylesheet and the document so long as it works. As you get more familiar with epubs, you can see what things are necessary and what are really not. All the repeated normal or none lines are probably not necessary. It is just fine tuning to make the code prettier and easier to understand.

You can learn more about CSS at:

Use the try it now button to see how things work and then vary it and press the button again. That way you can try variations without blowing up a real document.
