You did ask for opinions in your opening question and you got em.
In addition to your question, there also are different ways of looking at the cooperative parts of this game. For example: whether you are donating it for a self-serving reason (to up your level) or donating for altruistic reasons (to support clanmates). As described in your opening post, it's clearly for your benefit and the one you are trying to help is you. Expect that some people would find that selfish and distasteful. Pretty normal.
If my clan leader decided he was donating giants only and I've just got to deal - that would not be the clan for me. For me personally, I enjoy the cooperative support part of donating. I enjoy giving my clanmates what they need. I'm not doing it to up my level because I'm not trying to "go" anywhere with my level. It seems that one member of the Sky family also expressed displeasure for the practice here so maybe that's not where you're ultimately going...
There are a million ways to play this game.
