It's going to be "worse" for those of us who have to live through it, though

The fact that change is difficult is important for those that have to go through it (us and our contemporaries). Accepting that the most dangerous part of a climate transition is the actual transition, not the end result, undercuts the arguments that "we're doing this to make earth livable for our children".

The question again is would the end result, after adjustment, be worse for us (including those aspects of the planet we truly care about) or not. How do you define worse or better? Is it just that different is worse, because there is a difficult transition involved? That seems to be the main counter-argument in this thread. And is the transition bad because we may be causing or would the same people try to prevent it if it turns out to be a natural climate phenomenon? In either case, the end result is the same in its impact on human life and natural diversity.
