Now, I might ask, why undergo all the trouble of including the kernel headers, and not the kernel sources themselves? *that* would be useful for android devices

That will be more for compiling modules, the headers you want on your system are the sanitized headers that were used for your glibc build (on our PCs with Linux distros anyway). It's better than it used to be, these used to be cleaned up by hand but for some time now the kernel build system has a facility to generate them (currently "make headers_install")
