Agreed. There seems to be this disingenuous memory of the dome from a lot of the population. I remember visiting as a teenager and had a fantastic time. Like you, I've never spoken to anyone that visited who didn't enjoy it. Now it remains an iconic London landmark and is used for events every week - providing somewhat of a legacy.
I wish it had remained as some kind of national science museum. It would have had a longer lasting cultural impact.

Obviously it was not a sensible financial investment but it was a significant cultural touchstone (and the space is still in use as well as being iconic)
