I believe simulations from cognitive models can be an interesting way to develop theory, and should be publishable. Are there any arguments against this belief? Are data necessary for publication in cog sci?

The answer to this question is highly dependent on research goal and therefore cannot be answered without seeing it from the perspective of a specific goal. Think this also becomes visible in answers in this thread and the objections to those answers.

And unfortunately way too often, reviewers and fellow researchers do not ask (themselves or researcher) what the research goal is. They project their own goal, which may require different approach than the researcher required and used for their work.

Yes. Though I'm often surprised at how difficult it can be to get people out of their own research-goal-habits, even if you explicitly articulate the nature of the progress repeatedly. (I know, as a cognitive scientist I shouldn't be surprised about that...)

I guess it could be about finding the right journal. But I think that risks silo building within a field.

Well, eLife published one of mine that is just modelling. So not really sure it's about modelling-only journals, so the risk you mention isn't universally (at least) applicable.
