It doesn't matter whether they're important, it matters whether they're Constitutional. They're not. The founders rightly put a process in place for the people to amend the Constitution as necessary. So, if the people want the federal government to have the power to establish agencies like the CDC, FDA and USDA, they need to amend the Constitution or replace it with a new document. FOLLOW THE DAMNED PROCESS!

That's only your opinion. Technically the National Bank couldn't be found in the Constitution either, but most of the founders didn't object to its presence when Hamilton came along. The necessary and proper clause may be very ambiguous but it serves a vital purpose.
