I am still not sure what your point is?
We have to eat something and a vegan diet is one where we minimize land use by directly consuming the "raw" materials instead of a middle-men that introduce a significant amount of energy loss.
It is definitely necessary to improve the way modern agriculture works. Large monocultures do not provide a healthy ecosystem and we should work on creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. I really liked the movie The Biggest Little Farm that showed an alternative (despite them endorsing omnivore diets).
Playing devils advocate here, but there are dryland areas that are most effectively utilized by pastoralism for example, which is of course a non-vegan lifestyle, and there are also ways to grow shrimp on microorganisms for example that could not be consumed directly by humans.
