It is fine. It serves its purpose: to fine-tune the font settings. KDE has
a perfectly sane default. If only my system provided "helvetica", "times"
and "courier", it would have worked without any need for a change.

Those names are de-facto standard font names. No reason a properly
configured system won't supply them.

What I would like is that my system would alias by-default all of those to
(yuck!) misc-fixed, to allow all programs to display text properly
out-of-the-box (right? maybe some programs need Type1/TTFs?)

And also make it easy to change the aliasing to a different set of fonts
(e.g: Arial/Times New Roma/Courier New).

Thus by setting one thing I configure the fonts to all programs that have
sane default font settings. Not just for my KDE user (and not just until
the next time I have to "rename" ~/.kde)
