I don't think it's a huge problem to only like one era of Doctor Who. Not everyone is okay with watching a series with a rotating cast, and even people who are okay with it tend to have their preferences of which cast or show runner they like best.

I mean if Who fans get bitchy with you about it, just ask them if they'd be okay with their favorite character on another show suddenly being killed and replaced by someone who took their name, they probably wouldn't be okay with it at all. We accept it on Who because it's tradition and it helps with the longevity of the show.

As a Doctor Who fan (who loves all the Doctors, and the concept of regeneration), I had a terrible experience of that particular mental double-standard the first time I watched the series Due South. I rented out the entire series on DVD having no knowledge of potential spoilers, and when one of the two main characters was suddenly replaced (literally replaced, the in-universe explanation was that the first character had gone undercover in the Mafia and that Character B had taken on Character A's identity to protect the cover), I was like "WHAT MIND FUCKERY IS THIS". Despite the fact that I had loved (and still do) the series up to that point I couldn't watch more than one episode past that point.

To this day I still haven't watched more than two or three of the episodes with the second actor. It gave me a lot of perspective on people in OP's position in the Doctor Who fandom.

/TL;DR Am a Doctor Who fan, who flipped when a character got replaced on another show. ;)
