The problem is not wound healing, the problem is over the top inflammatory responses, and yeah with out them injuries could be much worse, but we get a lot of diseases because of accumulated damaged from long term inflammations. Point is doing simple things like eating a bit of sugar spikes your inflammatory reactions, causing all sort of problems down the road.

Ideally we could have a switch, low inflammatory reactions when good, high inflammatory reactions on injuries.
