I understand your position. I agree the strongest criticism against the Cosmological argument is that: does God really follow from it? But I maintain that the GotG argument and special pleading aren't properly aplicable here.

Why not? When someone is placing god at the end of the equation it's because of ignorance. 

We don't know what caused the Big Bang
- I do, it was god. -> god of the gaps

We don't know how life started on this planet
- I do, it was god. -> god of the gaps

We don't know why there is more matter left in our universe. Matter and Anti-Matter should've all cancel each other out.
- I do, it was god. -> god of the gaps

 Using god of the gaps only for its original meaning / purpose would be a genetic fallacy. 

No, when people place God at the end because of ignorance, you have a God of the Gapps.

When you construct an argument that leads to this conclusion, it's obvious this doesn't apply.
