Seriously.
I understand people maybe not liking the song, because musical numbers can always be polarising in that sense, but to say it has no narrative importance is baffling.
The song establishes the film's message. While outwardly it seems to be about Anna and Kristoff (and it certainly is about that too), it also reaffirms the idea that love towards others doesn't change them, but can help them to see beyond troubles (!) and to bring out the best in them.
Elsa needed to realise that her sister did not fear her, but needed her to share the bond they once had. Fixer Upper is telling us that this is what Elsa needs, underneath it all.
It also ties in with the film's entire thing about redefining True Love. Here we have a song that sounds like it is a typical affirmation of a true love message, but instead if you listen closely, it subtly again points to the fact that it will be sisterly love that matters and pulls Elsa out of her internal conflict.

Fixer Upper is an odd song in positioning. It's weird in terms of pacing, and I see that, but it isn't a complete dud in terms of what it says and does for the story.
