Do you mean per se or at all? I doubt many would argue that SOME fat is necessary. BUT a high fat low carbohydrate diet (aka the [discredited] Atkins diet) IS harmful as far as I'm aware...
If you are arguing that a high fat diet is not harmful,I'm willing to believe you,immediately you back up the claim with evidence.By "evidence" I mean studies (plural) published in peer review journals.
This issue is very important to me as I'm currently being treated for high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I'm also pre diabetic.As well as medication,I follow a lifestyle diet recommended by a dietician.It is low in fat,sugar,and simple carbohydrates. EG I do not eat fast foods, ever.
The technical term for what I eat is called "a balanced diet".
