You're sort of missing the point: The fanservice, especially in the first season, is there specifically BECAUSE Haruhi wants it to be there. That is why she kidnapped Mikuru in the first place, as you yourself have pointed out.

If you were to complain about the excessive service shots in Endless Eight, sure, I could understand. Not that those are anything near the level that other shows have done...
