What other uses does mineralized enamel have, aside from resisting attack by plaques? Honest question.

Plaque and tartar eat away at your enamel causing caries. Remineralizing is important to restore what has been taken away. So it’s not so much about resisting attack (I don’t believe fluoride fights bacteria) as much as reversing the attack.
