I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how grille height is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality.

They literally show in the video that the majority of the surface area on the RAM truck they filmed was blocked off by plastic paneling because it's not needed to actually cool the motor. A large part of the point is that these grills don't have any actual utility and are killing people for purely aesthetic reasons.

There are plenty of good arguments in favor of EVs; this specific issue is not one of them.
