Not telling you how to live your life but if I may offer a different perspective: tomatoes can be very flavourful but the ones you buy at supermarkets won’t be. Your stance might simply be due to not having had good tomatoes? (which is fine in its own right but I will not stand for tomato slander)
They can be, sure. I enjoy tomatoes otherwise. I can enjoy eating them like an apple or those cute cherry ones as snacks. But generally there are other ingredients on a burger (dressing, cheeses, bacon, whatever) that makes the tomato disappear completely and just become a watery slice of nothing but annoyance.

Tomatoes are fine, just keep them of my burgers.
I agree that the usual tomato does not bring anything in a burger. It’s a tradition that should stop.
However I’m not against having a slice of nice tomato in a special burger.
Bread, some good olive oil and nice tomatoes can be an amazing sandwich.
