Fibers have many beneficial effects -- are they diminished/
eliminated by cooking?

No, they are not dismished when cooked, as far as know only proteins and vitamins are.

Pd: Our body needs the protein to be broken in order to use them correctly in the synthis of muscle fiber.
 
Well, fibers are not a significant source of proteins and
some vitamins are destroyed by cooking. What about other effect e.g. promoting regularity, reducing cholesterol,
effects on the cardiovascular system etc ?
