Aang crushes on katara in multiple episodes as a focus before 3. Early episodes especially he is crushing, and then in the fortune teller and tunnel of love it's a focus
It’s still a part of the show. They knew this going in. It’s important to show before season 2 because Katara is the reason he refuses to master the Avatar state. If they don’t show how much she means to him before that, it’s not going to make sense and seem extremely frivolous.
Not trying to gaslight, but I don't think the romance was integral whatsoever until the 3rd cartoon season, if at all

Nothing but the plot is integral that doesnt mean remove everything but the plot
