To campaign and decry Biden in a two-party system is an endorsement of the other candidate. You might not mean it to be, you might not think that should be the case, you might hate the other option more. However, in reality it ends up being black and white, 1s and 0s, this or that. There is no grey area.
At this point to be anti-Biden is pro-Trump. Don't hate the players, hate the game.
The last election proved that you can't critique one candidate while silently hating the other. That's what happened to Hillary, and why the US is in the mess it's in currently.

Yes, thank you.
We already drove Hillary Clinton away, and love her or not, she would have been one of the most accomplished and intelligent leaders the U.S. would have had in decades.
We all wish that our guy/gal could be the nominee. I had my favorites too, and they were not Biden. However, he's a very good human being, he knows how to govern responsibly, and he'll even try to implement a more progressive health plan. To me, that's still a major win and moves things in the right direction.
He may not even run for a second term depending on his age/health, so there's room for someone to come in and follow up his presidency of being a caretaker and implementing a recovery, to then implement even more progressive policies. He's not going to be in office forever, but he's clearly a step in the right direction. If people can't see that because he's not pure enough for them, then I'm sorry, but those people are idiots.
If and when he takes the office, feel free to criticize away. It's the job of the president to take fair criticism. Just wait until he gets the job to do so.
