Milk is called "wholesome food" because people who make money selling it want you to buy it.
"Wholesome" means conducive to or suggestive of good health and physical well-being.
Milk is a wholesome food only for the infant of the mother who produces it. Like all other mammals, cows, goats, pigs, and dogs produce milk for their babies, not for humans.
In addition, most mammals are unable to digest milk sugar (lactose) past infancy, because they stop producing lactase, the enzyme needed to digest it. For an estimated 60% to 75% of humans, this lactose intolerance causes digestive upset and a loss of nutrients.
"Wholesome" also means conducive to or promoting moral well-being.
Taking milk from cows generally requires that humans confine the cows, collect semen from bulls, forcibly impregnate the cows, remove the calves from their mothers shortly after birth, kill the male calves for veal or as "waste products" because they are of no use to the industry, force most of the female calves into milk production, and send all of the cows to slaughter at just a fraction of their normal lifespans when they are no longer profitable to the humans. None of those activities promote moral-well being.
