There were only 95 in the list the OP gave. FWIW.

I let you badger me into looking at the rest of them, and, I'll
acknowledge that some of the images in the list the OP gave are not
really offensive, particularly if taken alone.

Others? You and I seem to have different ideas about what we want
children to find when they reach up on the family/school bookshelf.

Censorship? I'm not suggesting burning bits here -- just moving some
of the clipart out into a separate package so that a child looking for
a general image of a woman won't bump into a male sexual fantasy
cartoon image of a woman giving him or her the come-on in moderately
graphic detail.

On a positive note, if you know where to avoid looking, the
openclipart packages have a lot of useful artwork, both for direct use
and for ideas to build on. Does need some more work on organization to
make what one is looking for easier to find.
