I think the key problem with Miku English is the fact that they're introducing a poor quality vocal into a market that's in desperate need for a good one to be made that will impact the market like what Miku did for the Japanese side. Do I think Miku Eng shouldn't of been made? No because as you said she does play a vital role in trying to bring out the market especially to Yamaha. However, to impact a market you're not going to get away with releasing a vocal that performs poorly even if a well known character is slapped on that, Miku eng is the living proof of that.

Of course Miku Eng being on par with the native English vocaloids was, and will never happen, this was obvious, heck during the V2 era the only reason she wasn't dubbed low quality was because she only had V1's and soon the Kagamines to be compared to (Which in turn, grew more plausable as more vocals where released but then her Append came out to compensate). Even so we have seen that Japanese -> English banks can be done well, but we have yet to see it from Crpyton, with Kaito English and possibly Luka V3 English being the only ones with passable quality. This being frustrating because Crypton does have the power, more so than Internet or Yamaha, to impact the English side, and while i'm not trying to say they aren't trying that doesn't change the fact that their English banks are poor and this ultimately leads to hardcore Miku/Crpyton fans being disapointed in English capabilities as a whole and hence "Vocaloid should never be brought to America" comments.

TL;DR : If Miku Eng was on par with Nana or Gumi English, heck maybe at least Kaito English, then we could've seen a more positive impact but unfortunetely no. And so we have to deal with these sorts of people, which we would've gotten anyway but not in the same amount of mass.
