Please answer this one: If one is lying still, perpendicular to the target's course and one knows it's speed and the selected torpedo's speed.....isn't it then simply to have a table to calculate the fore-angle one needs to launch the torpedo...?.....regardless of the distance....?

Only if you're firing the torpedo straight ahead (that's what a gryo-angle of zero means).
If you enter the correct range then the TDC will calculate the required gryo angle and then you can fire immediately (instead of having to wait for the target to reach the bearing you've calculated) and the torpedo will turn to meet its target.
Another benefit of entering the speed, AOB
and range into the TDC is that you don't have to be perpendicular to your target.
