For some reason, some people don't like to believe that people spoke differently back in the early 1800s

What I find funny is how many people want to believe people spoke like they were in a stageplay in the 1800s when that is factually inaccurate.

Plus, it's not like the 2005 movie is Clueless. The way the characters speak in the 2005 movie is plenty different from how we speak today, so I find this particular line of criticism against it puzzlingly off-the-mark. In fact, when my best friend and I watched the 2005 movie with her fiancé, he said he found it difficult to follow because of the antiquated way the characters spoke. This is a man with a PhD in engineering; he's no dummy.

Personally, it's not the Regency dialect I dislike in the miniseries. It's the unnatural stiltedness of it all, which is a stylistic choice made by the creators in order to affect an air of historicity, as opposed to an actual communicational norm of the time period.
