Therefore, you can discard the usual expectation that an angel is something that doesn't need anything for daily basis.

The fact they don't literally take her as a "angel" is another point to consider as well.
That's is a major problem I have with the writing right now. Nobody is wondering why that is the case. Being hungry implies that you need more food for survival yet the fact that they are immortal would negate that fact. Nobody in the series thinks this is peculiar. Why would they discard the usual expectations of an angel when they associate that term to Kaname on the basis of her having supernatural powers?

Yes they are literally taking her to be angel, a person who has some direct link to God or whoever is controlling this world. That was the whole deal with Yurripe thinking Kaname got her powers from from God.

Yes Otonashi is the only one who is actually noting and taking into account these things without any particular bias. I can't remember the literary term but it's the usual "new guy notes problems with a continuing strategy".
