Oh, you're not wrong. Unfortunately, a lot of people thing that, if they think something is bad, they must do something about it. And they consider tolerance to be giving in to badness.
The other problem with tolerance is that it's a tipping point. No resolution; just status quo. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, if you're inclined to live and let live... but there are way too many people who are not.
