What use is the oils that have a high boiling point (even higher then desil). or do they not use them if not how do they treat the oil?

In the kitchen they soak food less, and do not catch fire as easily.

boiling points are an exellent way to control temperature. Water will always boil at 100 C (neglecting pressure effects), so if you cook with boiling water, you know exactly what temp you're cooking at, and how long it will take.
Oils boil at much higher temperatures, so in their liquid form, they be heated past water's boiling point and hech can cook much much faster than water. French fries wouldn't exist without oils.
Cooking aside, your high boiling point simply means the hydrocarbon chains are longer. I believe the next longest hydrocarbon to diesel is kerosene. Which an immensely useful heating oil. Ultimately motor oils, greases, and other lubricants also stem from these long hydrocarbons.

Oil that has a high boiling point is used to lubricate engines that operate at a high temperature. If oil boils, it is useless because it will break down rapidly at that point.

I supposed you mean components of crude oil... I think the one with the highest boiling point (according to text) is Bitumen, used as a compound to make roads... and if you think along that line, it's important for it to have high boiling point then! If not your roads will MELT!

we use an oil with high boil point (flash point) to quince heat treated steel parts. the parts are 1,800 degrees. we drop the hot part into the oil we have preheated to 120 degrees. when it cools to 120 we dip it into water to wash it. the oil has to be moving or it will flash. (catch on fire)

because the molecular weight of the long chain is far greater than H20, and the energy required to overcome the molecular weight of the long chain is greater than the energy required to overcome hydrogen bonds of water. So oil has higher boiling points than water's boiling point.

For lubricating things that are very hot-for example a conveyor which runs through a furnace or an industrial oven.

As a lubrication or cooling systems of high temperature
machines, engines, equipment

I think they're for machines (that have to be well oiled) that work under high temperatures.
