Why is it important that there be a distinction between "scripting"
and "non-scripting" languages at all?

I don't know, which is why this discussion bores me. But when people
aren't in agreement about the definition of a term, it's often useful to
consider what you might want to say using the term - not what you want
to say about the definition, but what you want to say that can be
non-trivially derived from the definition. Then you should carefully
choose a definition for the term so that makes what you want to say
about it both true, and even more important, useful.
