Re: purists and haters to the left: you are missing the point.

Well then maybe the part that Tolkien did not like is that the original stories were so buried under the courtly French stories, and stuff like the Mabinogion was obscure at the time he was wishing there was more English mythology.

This would be my guess. The Mabinogion isn't that well-known to most people (I only know about it because of my fascination with ancient British history and folklore), so it isn't a wide-spread mythos like the French retellings are. not to mention that Tolkien also wanted to incorporate elements from Anglo-Saxon mythology into his stories.
