I don't think you're unprofessional. In fact, your sentiment is a belief that was strongly held by early UNIX programmers. Two quotes I particularly like:
"The real hero of programming is the one who writes negative code." -- Douglas McIllroy
"One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." -- Ken Thompson
But unfortunately, we've come to a situation where SLOC and innovation for the sake of innovation is more important than code quality.
