Cool idea: don’t presuppose what literally every human needs based on your narrow worldview. Without significant animal fat and protein I wouldn’t be able live.
No, I’m not going to get into specifics, but also, no, I cannot get my current nutritional needs (and still desire to eat) by cutting animal products and biproducts in my diet.

in fact with all the space used for animals we could produce way more food instead.
The space used for animals is grassland and doesn’t have the right soil to be cropland. i.e. if all animals disappeared tomorrow we wouldn’t get any more cropland at all.
We wouldn’t grow more crops in total, but more would be available for human consumption.
The bulk of animal food from crops isn’t human edible, i.e. the leftover waste. Cows have an amazing ruminant digestive system that can process plant food that humans can’t!
No one has to eat meat, in fact with all the space used for animals we could produce way more food instead.
