Most people are probably just being nosy, and ask you that question so? 'They can put you in a box'
You can always sense whether they are genuine or not.
Why would a random person on the street ask such a question etc This is probably why it bothers you on some level.

But instead of putting them on the same existential trip I'm in, i just say oh I'm going good.
As if anybody even answers that question honestly.

It kinda is a sh^tty question to ask people cuz the people asking it dont even realize what they are saying.
In their head they are saying hi & thats it. Its a phrase thats taken on a new definition beyond what its literally asking of you.
Although the same could be said of other greeting phrases.
Whats up? The sky mfer.
Hows it hanging? Not as low as normal but its cold today.

this thread is a breath of fresh air.
People ask "how are you" the same way people respond to "do you mind if..." notice most of the time if someone asks "do you mind if I do such and such" you will respond yeah, sure, yet by saying yes technically YOU MIND but we don't even pay attention to little details anymore.
