By trial and error I figured out the following columns are the
minimum neccessary for a csv file for outlook to import. But if I add
some columns with unrecognized names, outlook says the file is
invalid. Why can't it ignore columns it does not understand?

"Subject","Start Date","Start Time","End Date","End Time"

Outlook provides no method for importing user-defined or custom fields.  You
would need to write some VBA code to accomplish this.  Some help can be found
over at http://www.outlookcode.com
