I see your point and that’s why I now think Tomoya’s wish was not as selfish as I thought it was, but I still think it was selfish.
There might be a little selfishness in his words. Considering what he's going to have to go though that isn't surprising. But although he said, "This saddness would never have happened." He also built a happy future for Nagisa if they had never met. He said something to the effect of, "She would have met someone else and lived a long happy life..." (I don't have the episode here with me, otherwise I'd check) But you also have to take into effect the idea I stated above, the reason that Tomoya was able to grow as a character was because of Nagisa. So if he never called out to her on that day everything he has accomplished would also be erased. He is willing to do that if she could still be alive.
