I think it's a matter of alternatives. Coal and fossil fuel is seen as much more destructive and at the very least biofuel crops like Palm oil soak up CO2.

But they soak as much CO2 as the agricultural land and or forest that would have been there otherwise.

I agree. But not all land can be usable in food production. And like I said, while I dislike the industry for its impact on the environment, in comparison to coal and fossil fuels, it is far less harmful.
