You destroy their nutrients, turning them into glorified fibber supplements.

Litterally the opposite is true. Cooking breaks down the cell walls and fiber (that is difficult to digest) and makes the nutrients more bio-available. It does destroy some nutrients, but we end up getting more out of it.

This, depending on what you're eating, you want to cook it the right amount. Steaming usually is best.

If you steam dense veggies slowly from no more than 65° you lose almost nothing while raw you lose more than 40% of total nutrient content from your food. Any less dense than about broccoli and you'd typically have them raw anyways.
