Hi there
Some cats can process milk, while other cats get an upset stomach from it. Cats don't need milk (unless they're babies of course!) so there's no nutritional need to give them this.
You're right about the vegetables - cats aren't made to digest vegetables (or grains like maize, wheat, etc) and get very little nutrition from this. Trying to digest this puts a lot of strain on the cats digestive system, which can cause illness eventually.
Cats are very specialised to eat meat, so they either get or can produce all the nutrition they need from meat, organ and bones
