While that lens line up might work for you it certainly wouldn't do the job for me - I like to photograph birds and so need long lenses too...
I had a job last weekend which involved taking shots at a conference, I had restrictions as to where I could stand and was glad to be using a 70-200 zoom. I needed to take full length and close up shots throughout the day and switching between primes would have been a lot more hassle than shooting with one lens. I know plenty of people shoot weddings with prime lenses but I'd hate to do so, a 28-70 on one body and a 70-200 on a second and I can shoot the whole day without having to change anything but memory cards. Perhaps that's just me being lazy, or maybe I'm just playing it safe, but either way I'll be stick to what I know.
