They never hated anime.

Gaara losing to Toph sure was wrong AF, but so was Guts beating Nigthmare for example. Plus there were lots of other episodes with results are even more wrong than that and don't involve anime at all (Link vs Cloud, Strider vs Hayabusa, and some others). And well, the rest of anime loses were legit at least imo (Goku vs Supes and Kirby vs Buu)

Also, while Goku and Buu may have been downplayed, there are tons of characters that were downplayed waaaaaaaay worse than them (Sora vs Pit comes to my mind, as well as Captain Marvel against 18, and more examples). Actually Buu was only downplayed in speed iirc.

About Sasuke vs Hiei's DBX, they explained in a DB CAst that they did it like that because they expected that to bevocmes an actual DB at some point and they wanted that future DB to be very different than the DBX, and they simply made it a DBX to see people's reactions and see if they'd like to see it as a full DB.
