I'm perfectly aware of what PM means, and I fail to see how a perfectly normal 4-digit number is "complex".

As to them being unneecessary, considering that literally 48% of the cards in the game are considered "Junk" (have a pwr less than 9), and usually won't be leveled at all before being evolved, I most definitely think that knowing the ATK/DEF of a non-PM EX is worthwhile. Not everybody who plays this game is able or willing to shell out money for packs - those people deserve to know how much they can get out of something that somebody else would just feed to their latest PM ultra. I for example will send my non-PM EX rares to my second account for it to use as front lines - I have no interest in spending even more time leveling up these "junk" cards, but they do still have a use after I've galleried them. Alternatively, those people who DO have strong decks may not be interested in spending the time to level up a strong but still un-needed card, and I see plenty of people on the trading boards listing their non-PM EX's for sale on a daily basis - those cards are perfectly capable of being leveled by somebody else, and I imagine that they might want to know how far it will go, potentially for use in their own decks. As an example, a non-PM EX is only ~12% different than a PM EX, which means that a PWR10 (not even the PWR12 that other rares can get to) (Activated) Deus Ex Machina with its non-PM ATK of 6.2k is still quite a worthwhile card, considering that it's stronger than 76% of the other cards in the game, UR or otherwise (and stronger than 73% of the possible PM EX's), but it's still just a rare that the high-dollar players will discard after evolving for their gallery.

As you're not having to actually generate the data (I do it when I create the new pages), I don't really see why you should care - it's not hurting anybody to have it available, and I've seen exactly one person say something in the entire time that I've been generating new pages, and that's been you. To be honest, I find it somewhat offensive that you repeatedly keep deleting data that apparenly only you don't like, which is data that I've spent no small amount of time and effort developing and deploying.

This is a wiki - a public knowledgebase of data, which means that even if you personally don't see the use of some data, somebody else may, and may want to share that data, which is precisely what I've done.

I will ask politely for you to stop deleting my data - it's useful to some people, no matter how much it annoys you. If you persist in deleting it, I will raise the issue with Shane and Beboper, and we'll probably get an answer that neither of us will like.
