Most of these knives are silly, A chef’s knife will do 99% of all cutting, chopping and slicing tasks in a kitchen. I would go as far as to say that knife sets are a scam.
You don’t do much in a kitchen, do you? Make bread slices with a bread knife is much easier than with a chef’s knife. Putting butter on a bread is much easier with a butter knife. Also you can’t accidentally cut yourself with it.
But keep cutting your cheese with a chef’s knife. Everybody chooses their own torture.
I don’t do much in a kitchen, if I did I’d have a chef’s knife. I’m a weirdo though, so what I do and what I know are best practices frequently don’t line up.

Not to mention some higher quality knives can break cutting some harder cheeses. Would not want that to happen.

To counter your examples though:
Bread? pre-sliced.
Cheese? pre-shredded.
Butter? melt and pour it baby.
So far I didn’t need a knife at all.
Why? They’ll lose their flavor! Only cut a slice right before you eat it.
For what?
for the bread and cheese, I’m not a foodie. I’ll get medium ish quality stuff at the grocery store, and it exceeds my expectations.
for the butter, come on, its butter. butter is love, butter is life.
