I'm not quite sure for whom the protection from undesirable sites is 
mainly intended - children / teens, using Tor?

If I do a search w/ StartPage, Ixquick or even Google, if an unsavory 
result appears, I just don't click it.  I've also never been redirected 
from say, Fidelity Investments or EFF.org, to a porn or pedo site.

Is it a huge issue to avoid these sites, or is it just the idea that 
some using Tor can access these sites?

There are plenty of other anonymous proxies, even daisy chaining them, 
or first using another site that masks IPs, before using proxies; using 
public hotspots while wearing a ski mask, that could be used to access 
illegal sites / material.  Tor isn't the only anonymity game in town.
