No, you're stupid.
"desu" is put at the end of a sentence to add a polite connotation

Desu is a state-of-being verb. Dropping the desu would be the equivalent of somebody asking you what your name is and just saying "John" instead of "I am John." See how it sounds more polite when you say "I am"? It's the same when you say "desu". It has meaning, it's just dropped most of the time.

Care to EXPLAIN why it's bullstuff, or do you just not know?

That explains why L from Death Note would always say "blabla L bla desu"
The blas represent words I obviously don't know.

First, let's do this in a way that makes sense.
"watashi wa yukkuri" would be "I'm slow."
"watashi wa yukkuri desu", by your logic, would be something like "I'm is slow."

I don't believe that a single word is enough to get worked up about.

I doubt that is the correct usage of grammar, and even if it isn't, translations are hardly clear between two different systems of languages

At least we're not arguing about use of the word "monday"

[mrlolop]

monday =/= desu
