The fact that you have to invoke integrals and the Kutta condition to make your explanation is exactly what is wrong with it.

Is it correct? Yes. Is it intuitive to someone who doesn’t have a background in calculus, physics and fluid dynamics? No.

People here are arguing about a subpoint on a subpoint that would maybe get you a deduction on a first-year physics exam, and acting as if this completely invalidates the response.

How is the Kutta condition ("the fluid gets deflected downwards because the back of the wing is sharp and pointing downwards") less intuitive to someone without a physics background than wrongly invoking the Bernoulli principle?

One is common knowledge, taught in every elementary school. The other is not.

Every elementary school teaches the Bernoulli equation?
