People don't eat burgers for health reasons.

Why eat ice cream when chicken is healthier?
You're comparing apples and oranges. Yes, there are plenty of delicious vegetarian foods, but you can't just substitute one for the other. If you're craving eggplants, replacing it with lentils will not satisfy you.
Then eat a burger if you want a burger, they are healthy if you skip the buns and sugar ketchup and use quality beef. Throw it on a veg salad for a balanced meal.
I know many disagree, but Impossible patties are healthier and taste better.
Furthermore it's nice that no animal got killed and there were fewer emissions.
It’s not a disagreement, it’s science. You are conflating your views on animals rights with this ultra processed goop, which is a common logical fallacy. I respect and understand the animals rights perspective, but the fake meat is simply not healthy. Don’t believe me, just see what high level athletes eat and the diets of cultures who live long.
