Explanation:Inimical describes something that acts like an enemy or tends to cause injury.
"Unhelpful" only means not giving assistance, which is a weaker idea.
"Unimportant" means lacking significance or value.
"Useless" means having no practical use or worth.
None of these captures the sense of active opposition or damage.
The word "harmful" directly conveys causing hurt or damage, just like inimical.
