I thought this was rhetorical when I first read it so I wasn't going to
answer.  But if you want my answer, here it is:

Humans are wonderfully adaptable.  When we live in an environment where we
cannot get carbohydrates, our bodies adapt.  There is significant individual
variation in the need for carbohydrates, and obviously the Inuit have adapted
to a diet that has close to zero.

We all know there is no such thing as an "essential carbohydrate".  I'm not
disputing this.  But that doesn't mean that carbohydrates serve no useful
function in anyone's diet.
