Because it didn't.
I still felt playing a Resident Evil game with 4, which didn't happen with 5 and for most part of 6, and even less now with VII, based on the trailers.
It destroyd nothing, it improved it. Had Resident Evil stayed in line with 4, most of people would be happy with the series, unlike we have now.
4 wasn't the one that destroyed, 5 was.

Way to go in circles.

Resident Evil 4 is loved because it's a fantastic game to play, not because it's a Resident Evil game. It doesn't feel anything like a Resident Evil game, especially not when the director behind it fully knew he was making a different breed of game with a different philosophy (and for the most part, design philosophy is very important among japanese videogame makers), and even less when you realize just how much different it is from the previous games. Like I said, had the game not bear the Resident Evil name, no one would have associated it.

It destroyed it. People not enjoying 5 more than 4 is the result of people liking more what they played in 4 than what they played in 5, not the Resident Evil brand behind it, since it was already destroyed in 4.
