Even so, if you don't want kids, I see no point in marriage. For either men or women.

I agree with this. I don’t see why most men get married.
This is untrue: men with SAHW perform better in career vs those who are unmarried. They have a free laborer on everything else at home.
Men who don’t marry die younger, marriage is literally a life saver for men. Not the case for women.
It’s a life extender, not saver.

They are also happier and healthier than single men are

Also selection bias. Happy and healthy guys are more likely to attract a wife, but they'd be happy and healthy anyway if they stayed single.

I would certainly advise my daughters to have their own careers and own children and not get married. Most of my married friends would be better off without their deadweight husbands.
Or marry another woman.
