A few thangs.
Anyone who claims that looks matter very little or not at all are straight up lying (especially men who claim that). Most women will not date a dude who looks like Brendan Fraser from the Whale. Most men do not want to date overweight slobby women (not even the overweight slobby men which make them huge hypocrites).
There is nothing wrong with having physical preferences. Physical attraction must be present for me. Me not wanting to date overweight slobby women does not mean that I hate them, it just means I won’t consider dating them. And there is nothing wrong with women rejecting fat slobby men. If an unkempt man with no sense of style or panache meets a hot 9 or 10 who won’t date him, that’s his fault not hers.
You are correct that there is nothing wrong with having physical preferences. People assume because I dislike blondes (or rather, prefer non-blondes) I think blondes are stupid and that's just not true; it's just my preference. Or if I prefer Asian women, I'm somehow fetishizing a race, when really I just find them more attractive than white women.
It's just my preference, don't read too much into it. I can't explain it. Does liking vanilla more than chocolate mean anything? No!
If I find a blonde white woman I like I'm not going to be "No, I can't date you, you're white and blonde. It doesn't matter how cool you are."
I think the fault with your argument is that it is a little too absolute. Most people don't function on a simple "if you're less than a '5' then I won't date you". There are certain characteristics they find appealing/unappealing, certain things they're willing to overlook/not overlook.
If someone is a 10 but racist, that's hopefully a dealbreaker for you. Conversely, if someone is a 3 but one of the kindest souls you've ever met, you might overlook their bad teeth. And if someone is a billionaire and a 1, well, time to see just what your standards are worth 😋
