Eating root vegetables instead of leafy greens for micros

I've been playing around with Cronometer and just realised that its possible to get all the daily micronutrients through sweet potatoes and white potatoes along with other foods such as chicken/milk etc. As for the lack of fibre, I take psyllium husk so my fibre needs are covered. I always hear people talk about the importance of leafy greens however I don't see why I should eat them if potatoes could do the same job while tasting better. As for vitamin K, I eat lots of kiwi fruit and also take a Vitamin D + K complex, which is apparently more bioavailable than the Vitamin K which is in greens.

It may seem like a lot of effort to avoid greens, as I have no trouble eating leafy greens in the short term, but I always find that I end up hating them in the end, as in I end up gagging which is not sustainable if I end up throwing up my meals. I have tried cooking in a numerous amount of ways to enhance the flavor but in the end I still end up hating the taste.

Besides their low calorie density for the amount of vitamins, I don't see any other reason to eat them if I can get my micronutrients elsewhere. What other benefits do they have?
