Oh I'm not defending black and white simplistic good/bad dichotomies. And if you don't have one of them at all, well that's fine. But my post is criticising certain sorts of dichotomy which I think are particularly flawed, and I wanted to make it clear that this isn't meant as a general argument against dichotomies. Such arguments exist, but are beyond the scope of my post.

Sure, but people are still going to disagree about which are better and which are worse! It is impossible to please everyone and (I think) unwise to even attempt to do so. Choosing who gets to be unhappy is necessarily difficult and controversial.

I could be wrong, but it seems like you're arguing that since it's impossible to come to a complete consensus about the best way to behave or to make everyone happy we should never criticise other people's behaviour/moral framework at all, which I strongly disagree with.
