People keep blaming the burger and completely ignore the big gulp soda consisting mostly of high fructose corn syrup that people usually have with it.

Well it’s about proportion.
A burger is majorly meat and bread with a fatty ground beef with a hint of vegetables. In the “healthy” section I’d expect the diet to be more vegetables heavy as those have less calories and more nutrients.
Also the bread in healthy is a bit of a misnomer IMO. It’s not awful for you but I wouldn’t call a baguette pure “healthy” eating.

Burgers can be pretty healthy if you're an endurance athlete. It's not exactly a balanced meal, but I try to balance the food I eat in a day. It can be exhausting trying to get every meal right every time. Beef fat isn't exactly good for your heart though, and I like the taste of chicken better.
But really you should be eating to fit your lifestyle. The human body is pretty amazing and can thrive with a wide variety of diets.
If you buy the ingredients you can verify the quality and freshness and absence of additives and such. When you buy a burger you can do none of those things. Pretty obvious difference. Homemade burgers with high quality ingredients and non excessive amounts of meat are super healthy. Maybe use some actual wholegrain bread instead of this white paper stuff tho.
I just try to eat as much food as I possibly can in the span of one hour from uni cafeteria (2.95€ for as much as I can fit on my plate) and call it a day with eating.

The burger has cheese on it.

The real bread isn't good for you. Those are empty, fiberless carbs.
The bun is bread + an assload of sugar + oil. Though, they do at least include sesame seeds as fiber.
4oz of lean chopped steak is (relatively) better for you than 12oz of 80/20 ground beef But that looks like more than 4oz.
The real problem is that the proportions are all wrong.
You should have a bowl of lettuce with 1/2 a chopped tomato and 1/4 of a diced onion, a couple ounces of ground beef crumbles and maybe some garlic croutons.

My first customer was Megan She came in for a hamburger with the lot - no meat "Hey that's a salad roll" I said and we started going out

Solution! 
In fact when traveling going to McDonalds and ordering a deconstructed burger (only meat) with extra meat patties is a common way to eat clean keto. Their patties are real beef and they are cooked in their own fat, so no extra industrial oil - it's pretty clean
