I dislike the affinity system with an extreme passion, why am I forced to use characters I dislike just to not miss out of story?

You don't miss out on any story. It's just some interesting side snippets about their lives, and you'll find you'll have maxed out affinity between a few characters by the halfway point anyway. 

Not if I don't use them I will not have.

So? Ignore them then. I ignored Reyn and Sharla completely during my first runthrough and never felt I missed anything, because I hadn't.

 

You HAVE to have 3 characters, so you're bound to get strong links between them by simply fighting anyway. And when you get a new character, you'll likely play as them to try them out, building a few links between them right from the get-go.

Just choose your favourite team and forget about it. It doesn't do anything, really
