And lose important emails. I don't mind my emails being tagged as "probable spam", but I should be the one to actually delete them (unless it's unbelievably low quality spam).

No, hence wanting multiple sources.

I don't want somebody to make that decision for me. How do we know DuckDuckGo have the resources? How do we know they don't 'rank' suggestions based on other political events?
Obviously we have different opinions about exactly what we want from DuckDuckGo, that's okay. I'm not against DuckDuckGo adding a tag or rating to indicate what they believe the trustworthiness of the source to be - I would even appreciate if they distinguish between cnn.com and cmm.com (fake example to make the point).
