Geez, these are only bad because society ARBITRARILY assigns "bad" connotation to them.

I'd sooner beat a kid for dropping cultural slurs than a few f-bombs. At least there's a history of malicious intent behind the former.
If we all of a sudden refused to acknowledge any word as a "swear word", they'd hold no power over us.
Until then, bleep on, I guess.
But I suppose they serve some purpose, so can't be totally ignored. Anyway, social conventions are generally long-standing, whereas "political correctness", on the other hand, usually serves some current agenda.
