Dental health is not just cosmetic; it affects multiple areas of physical health. If there were a safe way to add something that would prevent heart disease, it would absolutely be in the public interest. Your other examples are strawmen.
You can certainly argue (as this paper’s conclusion does) that more research is needed on other potential effects of fluoridation, but it isn’t arbitrary.
