I am aware that the main reason the battle took place was to kick out the greeks and abolish their edicts.

That said, the main hashkafic reason we have a holiday of chanukah is to commemorate our victory over greek culture. Chanukah is not a celebration of a military victory.

Your word vs. Megilas Antiochus, the Gemorah Shabbos and others. I’ll let the Olam decide.
