Why do you need overview pages anyway?
Typically, Joomla will lead your site visitor to a category's content in three steps. Between Main Menu and the actual content, there's a secondary page to show category contents. You can see how this works in the screenshots in the following sequence:

As you can see, what's on the home page and the overview pages (and how it's presented) is vitally important to your site. It's the teaser texts, images, and hyperlinks on these pages that offer your visitors a first glimpse of the actual content. Of course, people don't always arrive at your site through the home page.
