I've been asked these same questions for 30 years, and given the same answers.
If you want to eat just fruit, be my guest, but I believe your health will fail you within 1-3 years, depending upon your activity level and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Fruit trees do not get their nutrients from topsoil, no.
No, primates don't eat greens for additional calories.

So, my answer really is this: I enjoy greens as much as I enjoy fruit, but understand that they are different. I believe that when you have eaten fruit and veg for a longer period of time, 7-10 years typically, you will have developed a much greater appreciation for greens than you currently experience.
