I don’t think there’s a wrong way to enjoy stories, some people are keen on the “lore” and backstory while others are more interested in the larger scale story or the relationships between characters.

That extends to authors too, some of them put more emphasis on different aspects of their story which may appeal more to certain readers/viewers than others.

Aren’t all the plot points you mentioned basically forgotten by the story itself in a few chapters? Once they start fighting devils and Denji meets all the other characters the plot becomes more about his relationships with those characters, and then about Makima’s plans.
