AV is like a coffee filter, without it, you still get a cup of coffee, just a really shitty one.

If your coffee filter had holes the size of Luxembourg, and also a side access door with a combination lock with password "1234"... sure. You don't need AV, it doesn't work and makes new problems.

Who needs fancy 0days and whatnot when I can grab an old virus off a floppy disk?

Do I understand correctly, that you think antivirus makes it safe to let users run arbitrary executables? If not, then how do you get the virus on the floppy to run?

How do viruses work? Because all of them require user intervention/action right?

It's not obvious to me what scenario you're describing, please explain it. Antivirus doesn't prevent exploitation of vulnerabilities, so I don't know what scenario you're talking about.
