Cholesterol is used to *make* hormones, it is not a hormone itself.  That's like saying a wheel is a car, or a brick is a house. I didn't say it wasn't needed, but over production of cholesterol is an issue.  Just the same way that insulin is needed by the human body, but over production is an issue with it.

80% of the cholesterol in our body is manufactured by our body. Insulin in the hormone that prompts our body to manufacture insulin. Decrease your insulin (by eating paleo low carb) and you decrease your cholesterol.
