The irony is that there are Halal meats, such as lamb, that can actually be way more unhealthy than pork. As an example, many cuts of Lamb contain so much more fat than a typical cut of pork. I'm sure that the various schools of thought have Fatwas relating to pork so my point is simply to note the Quran contradicts anybody who says the entire pig is Haram. There's probably something in the Hadith too but: 1. I haven't checked and 2. I like to stick to the Quran as much as possible because the is no consensus on which Hadith are authentic and there are at least three different collections (Ibadi, Shia, Sunni) floating about.
Quran 4:28 bluntly says that Humans were created weak so I struggle to understand why Allah is leaving Quran interpretation and Fatwa issuing up to Humans.
"Allah doth wish to lighten your (difficulties): For man was created Weak (in flesh)."
Your point is well taken however I don't really worry about this small contradictions in the qu'ran or bible myself. I mean the qu'ran also says that the world was created in 5-10 days and is flat like a carpet or something like that. I don't think a minor inconsistency about what part of the pig is okay to eat is all that important.
