It's like a parody of all the childish anime series from the past, that's all it was ever meant to be. That's why it's over the top, like Gunbuster and Diebuster, and all the other series from the 80s like GGG and G-Gundam and idk stuff like Ashita no Joe too. If i remember correctly even Imaishi said so himself. The only reason most of the TTGL fandom think it's so unique is because they haven't seen a lot of what it was probably parodying.

And Kamina's line is symbolic, because right before he died, he finally said to Simon to not believe in him who believes in Simon, but for Simon to believe in himself.
It's all about growth, yes it's childish and stupid at the beginning, but it's meant to be. There's an interview somewhere where one of the directors spoke of how at the beginning of your life you depend on others and doing your best all the time will guarantee you what you want, but once you grow older you realise that's not always the case.

Your complaints are pretty much the reason why everyone loves it.
Sorry it wasn't your thing though, each to their own 8)

It wasn't meant to be a parody. The writer himself said he wanted to tell a serious story in a lighthearted fashion. Despite the presentation, the whole staff wanted it to be a sincere project. I don't think it's "unique", but I do think it is refreshing; even for the Super Robot genre. I personally enjoy over-the-top shows such as Diebuster, but Gurren-Lagann itself stands out due to its own heart.

"Homage" would probably be a better term to use.
