You can put it in whatever context you want, and for the most part I agree, but I myself have had what I would definitely describe as a "bad trip". It resulted in me having to deal with anxiety and panic attacks for the next 4+ years. I also personally know people who have had what could only be described as "bad trips" including one instance of police being called to the house and one instance of someone jumping out a window.
I know it is important to take every experience as a learning opportunity, but there are some people who physiologically have bad reactions to hallucinogens and those who are susceptible to mental disorders. Saying that "there are really no such things as bad trips" is really downplaying how powerful these substances can be.
