Have we come to such a stage that we have to praise this?

Well I suppose it's a step in the right direction.

I agree, Naruto 133 was terrible, don't know why everyone loves the massive increase in fluidity. What about the original designs and consistency!
I've seen some awfully fluid stick figures before. Points for fluidity, points deducted for displeasing character designs. Though I've never though KyoAni was a master at background art like some other studios as well.

In any case my only point was that seeing their works isn't the same as was some years ago. It isn't jaw dropping level of animation.

Referencing naruto 133 is not going to do you any good since the art of that is heavily criticized by fans, some hate that style because it makes the characters look retardedly bad at times (See Pain vs Naruto fight in part 2 for fluid but stupid looking).
