If you're going to say that S.P.D. is in the Top 3 seasons of this franchise, you lose all credibility, particularly when it comes to decrying stuff that is perceived to be so much worse.
I agree and disagree with some of your points.
People have the right to enjoy and like whatever they do like just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean it isn't GOOD to THEM which is what matters. You don't get to decide what's good for others you only decide that for YOURSELF.

Also on top of that people can't lose credibility for enjoying S.P.D. so much that it's one of their 3 favorite seasons... again just because you hate it doesn't mean others will and you can't decide that for others.

I personally don't like Samurai much like the majority of the fandom does but it's not because of what other people in the fandom that made me hate it the reason is because most of the season was dull and boring and they treated some of the characters such as Lauren like crap.

Some things in S.P.D. were good but there were other things that were especially bad. They were inconsistent with their characters, they were inconsistent with injuries and on top of all of that they didn't explain anything with Mora.

Truly disastrous seasons like S.P.D. get praised, while seasons like Samurai, Megaforce, Overdrive, and even Wild Force - which do have problems but are not nearly as rife with issues as perception says that they are - get decried as the worst thing(s) to ever happen to the franchise in its 20-year history.
That's the fandom though and that is how they're going to behave which is something that YOU yourself can't control... as long as they're not hurting anyone physically then there's nothing wrong with it... and as long as someone is not using it to insult or bully someone with it then there's nothing wrong with it.

Some fans like S.P.D. and if you don't then that's your opinion. Opinions are opinions and you can only change yours you need you learn to respect that.
Even Mystic Force has its issues... yes it's a season that I've enjoyed for other reasons but I don't hate it just because it was a Nick-focused season and they pretty much shafted any focus episodes for Madison.

Wild Force also has its issues and it's actually one of my favorite seasons even with those issues there. One of my main issues with it is because Taylor matured too quickly she went from being a jerk to being soft way too quick but I don't hate the season at all even because of that. Forever Red also had its own issues as well one of which is the bad use of Serpentera but I don't hate Forever Red because of it since it's still a good episode.
