Flying VFR, Avalon tower always asks for your intentions and it had better be a straight line transit.

The strangest thing was when I was tracking to Leopold and over Point Henry having tracked over the ARP, ATC asked where I was, so I told them:”over point Henry 2500 on track for Leopold(which is a VFR waypoint).

‘’They came back with “range and bearing please, we don’t have that detail on our screen and we don’t know where that is” WTF?

Are IFR JET Pilots and ATC deliberately trying to be autistic or what?
