You are asking a Full Node vs Pruned Node question.

Full Nodes contain a full copy of all transactions and validated the chain of hashes from the genesis block to today.

Pruned Nodes contain a rolling subset of transactions, dropping the oldest blocks to free up disk space.

Both, however, go through the process of downloading all blocks and independently verifying the chain of hashes from the first block to the most current. Pruned nodes simply start discarding the oldest blocks to free up disk space or meet configured requirements.

It's even before that. If all I want is to create a new wallet then all I need is to create, receive and then the software can save the wallet and do a prune in everything but the wallet

I don't know why people are unable to understand your question. It was pretty obvious to me.

The more one knows, the harder it is to reply to simple ideas

Maybe for other people but not for me. I actually focus and listen.
