Without dietary fat, we ain't getting any of that. Period.
Ergo, "healthy fats" are the fats that contain these essential fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K - naturally. What kind of fats are those, we might ask? Animal fats. Oh yeah, did I say that fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K were essential? Yeah, I think I did. I definitely did.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (or explain it better) - My understanding is that you need dietary fat in order to absorb any vitamins and minerals from your food, which is why salad with fat free dressing is stupid. So you could accomplish that with olive oil or even a soy or canola oil based dressing.
I do understand what you're saying about the essential fatty acids though - if you aren't eating foods that contain essential fatty acids, you're going to completely miss out on those.
