A watt is a unit of power. You are right it's defined by current times voltage.

Keeping the voltage constant INCREASES the current.

I2R losses are always described in loses of VOLTAGE, not current.

Google AC generator and watch what is happening. Now imagine that current flow on a larger scale like a power plant. The same amount of current that is flowing out is flowing back in the other side.

Your power is billed for the amount of current that passes through your home times the voltage over a period of time.

BTW: I NEVER said current flow was not important.

Manufacturers bragging about amplifier current is simply marketing B.S.
They might as well be bragging about peak power output it's just as meaningless.
