Humor. It is a difficult concept. It is not logical.

Re: "Well, what about all that atmospheric equipment we're carrying...
Nope it was the deletion of an earlier scene that caused this problem.
When the Klingons beam aboard Kirk offers them a tour. In the cut scene, in the torpedo bay Kirk shows the equipment to Gorkon.
As usual cutting scenes causes continuity errors. The studios think the writers include lines and scenes for fun with no impact on later scenes.

Here's the cut scene.............
41 INT. R DECK CORRIDOR 41
leaving the Enterprise Science Labs...
GORKON
Your research laboratory is most
impressive...
KIRK
Starfleet's been charting and
cataloging planetary atmospheres.
All vessels are equipped with
chemical analytic sensors...
GORKON
This cannot be easy for you,
Captain...
(off the look)
I would feel awkward if I had to
give you a tour of OUR vessel...
The man's courtesy makes Kirk feel guilty...
KIRK
Would you care to go topside?
CHANG
Very much.
CHEKOV
(pulling Kirk aside)
Captain, you're not going to show
them the bridge??
KIRK
(clenched teeth)
Full diplomatic courtesy, Mr.
Chekov...
The party passes Uhura and a YOUNGER CREWMAN.
YOUNGER CREWMAN
Would you want your daughter to
marry one?

It's awkward because of the line reading---not because of the content.
They're getting slamed by torpedo after torpedo and then everything stops and Nichols has this really lame, very calm, brainstorm that Spock & Kirk didn't think of (while for some reason the torpedo hits just stop for 25 seconds) and then the shooting restarts.
It's all reflective of 'this is the last movie' and we want all the cast to get some spotlight and solve a problem etc.
In TWOK the characters did their jobs and didn't spout off with interjections like that. Let's face it too, Nichols isn't a great actress. Her lines always sound lame unless it a 4 word sentence.
Meyer had Nimoy for a producer in 6 and he had to let them put in stuff like that (and the lame 'translation books' scene as well) Nimoy always felt he had to throw bones to the supporting players even if it made no sense.
The same way Kirk has Scotty (the oldest, 100 pounds overweight guy run up the stairs to confront the shooter!) WTF? The president (or someone else) is about to be assainated and you send a 70 year old 270 pound guy up a stairway to stop the assassin? Oh yeah, Doohan had to have his 'spotlight' scene. Okay.
TUC is a good movie but it has those clunky, 'quaint' Trekkie moments in it.
Those little things are why i rate it behind TWOK which wasn't pandering to the fans with stuff like that.
Sulu & Uhura have about 15 lines apiece in TWOK and that doesn't hurt the movie a bit.
Thank god we didn't get a scene of sulu popping a boner in TWOK and getting flustered, like roddenberry felt was a good idea in TMP.

We learn by doing.
For my money, "all that atmospheric equipment" was probably just a Starfleet cover for increased fleet-wide deployment along the borders.

You could help TUC by cutting out about one minute of the worst bits or looping some stuff. Unlike TFF, the bad parts are fairly brief. Not nearly a damn minute like Uhura & Scott in the sickbay recovering from his head bump. ugh
