Evaluating a work of fiction's right to exist based on some moral criteria is pretty much exactly what governments in the past have done to ban books that they felt were 'dangerous' to their regime. In many parts of the world it's still being done. A lot of those books are considered important works of literature today.

Regarding the 'image' of anime today being way more sexualized, that's mostly because of economic reasons. Fan service based shows sell well enough to justify their cost, and takes significantly less effort to create than more serious works of anime. They're also great for merchandising.
