Thank you for clarifying your points, hopefully it will help make this rebuttal equally clear. Economic inequality is bad not because of what causes it, but because of the effects it has on society. The problems boil down to issues of influence, both in the economic and political spheres. The wealthier someone gets, the more opportunity they have to game the system for their own advantage. Even if we're not aiming to eliminate the rich/poor divide completely, we still have a responsibility to ensure concentration of power is limited. This is why economic inequality is an issue.
