Resumes are pointless bureaucratic fictions, but it's a small case where being good at "the game" [of forming a resume target to what you want a job doing] will seriously help you get what you want, even though the task itself is pretty stupid and contrived. It's been a long road, but I've come a long way in accepting things like this, instead of trying to fight to change every single one. The fighting path is very long and challenging, and there's not enough time in a lifetime to change even 1/10th of what I think is wrong with the world, so in my experience it's really about picking your battles.
