It's not inherently bad or poisonous, but it does have physical properties that allow it to trap heat. This is a proven and very observable fact. In fact, most matter has this property, but CO2 is very good at it. Iron is an essential element too, but too much would be harmful for us. It's not unlike certain atmospheric gases and our planet. It's not the idea that there is a lot of CO2, but it is that we are upsetting a fragile balance. There is a subtle but important difference.
And sure, there are many other harmful pollutants out there, and we should be doing what we can to cut down on all of them as much as we can. It certainly is not a case for ignoring CO2 if there is something that can be done to help. It would be like ignoring diabetes because there are worse diseases out there.
