I'm pretty much on your side here, I think it seems ridiculous to think that 9/11 was an inside job, but then again I haven't done much research. Anyways, sorry to say but those arguments are really bad.
It sounds like you're just trying to shift the attention to something else "Oh, why talk about this really significant historical event when we can just talk about Hiroshima??". The other one basically says that if something it is hard to get to the bottom of something then we should just stop trying all together.

Imagine if 9/11 really was an inside job. It's already gone into the history books as something that was done by religious extremists. That has some very significant implications, it basically means we can't at all trust history neither the one in the past nor the one that is continuously created. If there's any real doubt whether or not a government committed such a horrible crime on their own people and subsequently succeeded in completely hiding the fact that they did it; then that's a gigantic problem and asking "what's the point?" seems just batshit crazy.
