Then why is the East Side the most destroyed part of Detroit? The East Side has practically no freeways.

The West Side, the more prosperous side, has tons of freeways. The most vibrant neighborhood retail, West Vernor, is totally surrounded by freeways. The most destroyed neighborhood, the Lower East Side, has no freeways.

If you removed freeways from Detroit, you would essentially destroy the little commerce remaining in Detroit, because Detroit would no longer be accessible by the 90% of the metro area population living outside Detroit.
