Only objectivity allows us to be reasonably assured that our conclusions accurately reflect the real world external to our minds. If wishes were wings, we wouldn't need airplanes.
Unsurprisingly I agree with you. My own particular bugbear with the "mindless middle" is with those who insist on agnosticism towards some things (bizzarrely fervently) whilst rejecting other equally unevidenced unfalsifiable unknowable concepts as "absurd" purely because people happen to believe in the former but not the latter. It amounts to nothing more than the circularity of citing belief as evidence upon whcih to justify belief.
