To paraphrase you, people like you make me frustrated. You say you have a good collection and you enjoy collecting and upgrading? What I want to know is this, what do you know about the new guns/gear? The answer is nothing. What if there is a gun called fatehammer that has the best elements of fatebringer and black hammer? Suddenly your old collection would seem pointless. These new weapons can be collected and upgraded, (which you enjoy.)
No-one says you have to get rid of your current collection.
What if you COULD still use your year one gear? Then what's the point in having year 2 gear? There isn't any! Where the fun in having all the best stuff all ready? Other people would complain about the lack of content coming out. These games are all about the grind for loot. Games fail without new loot.
Another question, what do you play most now, PvP or pve?

I'd argue that a large amount of my collection is pointless. I'd also argue that large collections of.....well, just about anything - are pointless. I have stuff like a Stalker BNGL simply because its cool looking to me. I'm leaving Thorn because its boring to use in every game. I rarely use Icebreaker unless I'm weirdly out of ammo synths. I'll still take 'em out plinking - unless the new stuff turns them into ornaments. One thing I liked from games like Skyrim was that I'd collect a ton of stuff I loved that was meaningful to me, and even though I didn't use them I had a place to show them off. That would be nice.

Completely agree with your sentiment. Maybe a separate storarge section to keep your favourites. Same as a real world gun collector would. They are still killing machines and have history and stories attached to them. BUT, I woulnt want to go up against an ak47 with a musket! That's all it boils down to, nobody's being forced to dismantle everything, its just that there's better coming along and people are scared of change.

True; but its not an unfounded fear. With Dark Below, the old stuff wasn't upgradeable. With HoW, it suddenly was - my prediction at the time (fwiw) was that the ascension was a bit of a placeholder to make up for what did end up being a generally lackluster addition to the armory.
