A thing having a version of it that is accessible to younger audiences doesn't diminish or invalidate the version of it that you love.
Batman: The Killing Joke is still dark as heck and can exist even though The Lego Batman exists too.
The problem you're encountering is that you have mistaken a commercial IP for a protected realm of pure art. Games Workshop is doing well financially now but a lot of their fans are older. They need to get younger audiences engaged if they want to keep succeeding in the long run because death and time and such. Nobody says you have to buy these books. So don't if you don't like them, you're not the target. Ultimately, their existence stands to benefit every fan of 40K/AoS as it will engage more people with the hobby and universe leading to more players, events, and products in the universe(s).
If you want to immerse yourself in a universe that is never going to become something else pick up a book set in a universe created and controlled by an author not a corporation. Might I recommend as a starting place "The Book Of the New Sun" by Gene Wolfe.

This is not a constructive thread, and people are allowed to like things you do not. We were all young, once
