but Prime Numbers are dependent on the idea that being divisible by only one and itself are important
I confess that I only have an undergraduate degree in Mathematics, but with that caveat I have a very different understanding: importance is a value judgement, and concepts in number theory such as prime-ness hinge on mere observations about the properties of numbers. People may assign importance to the property, but the property exists independently of how people feel about it.
