> Sugary, salty and fatty foods are consistently rated by typical people as more tasty than foods without them

Sweet, salty and/or fatty tastes form a pretty solid basis for many delicious snacks/hors d'oeuvres/desserts - highbrow or lowbrow - though I personally like tangy as well as textures like crunchy, creamy, chewy, spongy; and sometimes other tastes like bitter, savory, or piquant as well. These are tastes that humans (and other creatures) have developed and retained over thousands of years.

Omitting sweet/salty/creamy greatly reduces the scope of cuisine.
