You're saying that because you personally don't agree with using high resolution textures, that KuriKai and everyone else who has worked on them shouldn't bother because you are quite happy with the low res originals?
Whether you are content with the low res originals, or if you will use his pack is totally irrelevant.
KuriKai's post is merely an invitation to those who are interested, that his project now has a better means for giving feedback.
CSonicGo's post didn't say anything about disagreeing with the use of high-resolution textures, actually.
Speaking from personal experience, I ran into some ideological issues with the DHTP guys when I tried making some submissions a few years ago:
A major flaw I saw in the pack was that a lot of pieces that were supposed to match each other did not actually match. For instance, many textures were off-color or otherwise mismatched from the other textures and flats that they were designed to seamlessly match up with, and there were about five completely different versions of SUPPORT3, each appearing in different textures where it was used.
I tried submitting some patches to correct this, creating new textures and compositing existing ones to correct for the inconsistency issues and make the textures match one another like the originals are supposed to. Despite clearly explaining exactly what I was doing and why, my submissions were met with demands that I "stop stealing their work," and it was then that I understood why there were so many glaring inconsistencies in the pack.
Last I've checked, many of the same errors (among countless others) are still there all these years later, and critique of anything in the pack has usually been met with weeping and gnashing of teeth.
