A good movie 2D >>>> a bad movie 3D

Agreed there, but I think it makes your 3D hate misguided. It's not 3D you hate, it's bad movies.
Compare Avatar 2D with Avatar 3D, not Inception 2D with Avatar 3D. Or better yet, Inception 2D with Inception 3D (assuming it would have been done natively, not some bad conversion like Clash of the Titans).

And yet, if you took a movie like The King's Speech, and made it in 3D (properly), in my opinion it would only improve the experience. Pretty much anything that can be done in 2D can be done in 3D, only with greater immersion and realism.

Once you figure out why this is so, you'll understand my argument completely.

That's a weak analogy.
Perhaps there are more paintings because they're lighter, more portable, and can be displayed on walls? Maybe they're easier, require less space?
There are more paintings than photos in art museums, and whilst there are movies that want to look more like a painting than a photo, they are few and far between.
In some sculpting circles, life-size sculptures were considered inferior to scale models, because they were too easy. Yet, they are more realistic.
In my photography, I do both 2D and 3D. Mostly 2D. Because my 2D equipment is better. Because it's easier. Because it's more accessible. But very rarely is my choice to do 2D instead of 3D for creative purposes.
