What’s the point of having 2 feet touch the floor if you can just call it a catch in the air before landing ? 

I guess it’s just a question of when he possessed it and when he did the ball was across the end zone.

That's the thing though.  He's in the air (both feet off the ground) when he makes the catch - but he was coming back to the ball.  While in the air, contacts from the DB carries him back over the goal line and when his feet touch ground (if we're saying two feet down inbounds is necessary for a catch), he's back in-field.  His own momentum/motion was carrying him back across/toward the GL to begin with.  So how is this any different from a force-out on the sideline (which in endzone situations has been ruled no TD multiple times this season?

The ball is still inbounds in the endzone

And it's not possessed until a foot is on the ground.  Otherwise, a ball caught in the air in the end zone and then the player is pushed out the sideline before he can get two feet on the ground inbounds would count as a TD, too.  And it hasn't... multiple times this season.
