You can only create points when a point event table or feature class is used with any of the intersect tools and points simply dont work with any of the union tools. So, you cant just do intersection, but if you do a union, you get all the results of the intersection with the one thing that like bonus material of things that are also part of the union.
Computes a geometric intersection of the input features. The features, or portion of features, that are common to all inputs that is, they intersect will be written to the output feature class.
