getting sick is not an effective strategy whatsoever to avoid getting sick.

Well yeah, you have to be healthy too. You're not going to fair well against the flu if you're a crackhead who only eats chocolate bars.
But I didn't say getting sick is an effective strategy. I said contact with the cold and flu virus is the only defense against the flu or cold. Very specific on that one wasn't I? What do you think flu shots are? They are half-dead flu viruses.
You have a good point mentioning nutrition. But don't try to knock the fact that exposure is also great to build a strong immune system.
