Cows, sheep, and goats can be raised without crops. In addition, chickens can be fed using ugly food and distillers/brewers grains, so you're way off. Hogs are the only animals that need crops and even that isn't true if you want to work hard.
More animals die when harvesting crops vs the one cow that can feed me every year. The only time that isn't true is if the harvest is lucky and only kills 10 mice, birds or voles and my guard dogs are lucky and get more coons an opossums, but that hardly counts.
Why is you unintentionally killing dozens of animals to harvest your food more ethical than me intentionally killing half that after I gave them the best life (protected from predation and gave best food they could imagine)?
Your point about 80% less ag land is just plain false and negates to account for function stacking animlas and other farm products. And also animals can be raised on land that cannot be cropped.
This is the biggest straw man y'all always setup, you put industrial animal agriculture against the best version of plant farming. How about you compare apples to apples?
