Please do not exaggerate. You seem not to have even understood that your insistence has compelled David Engster to stop working on GCC-based code completion support for CEDET. So, yes, this is harmful to Emacs. This currently discussion itself might prove similarly harmful in turning other people off. Tho, w.r.t to code-completion support, I guess the end result will simply be that people will go back to working on Clang-based support since you oppose GCC-based support: the only point of working on GCC-based support was to satisfy your anti-LLVM stance. But if even that is not good enough, then there's no point trying to satisfy you, and working on Clang-based completion is a much better course since the tool is much better suited for the task.
