Why is dedicating a Gamescom conference to new IPs and indies a bad thing?

Why, because you don't agree with it?

Or because I'm not being a trendy hipster by supporting the "little guy" regardless of whether they make quality or not?

No, because making a statement that generalizes a large area of data into a singular opinion is small mindedness, which is precisely what you did. Seeing as "indie games" covers several dozens genres, spanning several decades and varying budgets, I think regarding it all as "generally awful" falls quite nicely within the definition of being small minded :P

Something being an opinion does not stop it being small minded. 

Its not small minded, it's an observation based on years of experience. If  said they were ALL awful without exception, you might have had a point, but I didn't.
