Ultimately, I think that people conclude that happiness is bad not because it is bad, but instead because they have strong social pressures to believe so. I believe that, given enough time and resources to engage in meaningful moral reflection, they would come to the belief that happiness is morally good.
You are just dismissing disagreement. Blissful ignorance results in happiness. I believe that it is bad anyway. Obviously I can’t prove that this is not due to social pressures, but that claim is unfalsifiable.
You also don’t seem to be addressing common criticisms. For instance, your post makes no mention of utility monsters, or of the repugnant conclusion.
