What you are referring to is valid/proper use of HTML tags for semantic purposes. Google and other search engines care about your H tags, strong, em, p, etc. They don't care about whether your text is blue or green. Or whether your DIV is 50px wide.
The reason CSS helps is because you can use all of these tags while still maintaining the look and feel of the design of your page.
And by the way - you made yourself look like a complete tool with this quoted response.

Why is it people think css is strictly divisions and text manipulation?
Let me guess, now i could be wrong, but going on a limb here... Do you use css all the time? Have you tried to form any SEO campaigns through a well layed out css based site?
If so, youre not doing it right if you have come to this conclusion... If not, then well, you dont know what youre talking about.
of course unless youre getting extremely technical and saying "the css code itself dosnt effect SEO" - well sure it dosnt, it dosnt even read it... But how the css lays out your info and link placement and such... that is all SEO ... which CAN be magnified through CSS...
Bottom line... CSS is beneficial to use when considering SEO... can you do it without, sure... But CSS will help
besides SEO... its easy maintenance... Cant beat that
