Nominally I understand why we launch rockets vertically, but intuitively surely it would make sense to launch them at an angle like that for a way more efficient gravity turn, yeah? Am I just dumb? Lol

That would be true if earth did not have an atmosphere. Any gains from the more efficient gravity turn would be lost many times over from atmospheric drag.

Plus, you would have to design your ship to be more structurally sound in order to handle the more extreme temperatures and pressures of going through so much atmosphere

We kind of already do that, at least a little. After rockets are launched they do fly at an angle to more effectively get into orbit

VLS cells simply have more advantages. Larger ASCMs are slanted at an angle though, you can see that on soviet warships and there's the Mk-141 which is a quad pack of harpoons slanted at an angle.
