Well, I've lived with it all my life so I've gotten used to it. <g>

Seriously, if I decide I don't like my "old neighborhood" and so move to a new one what purpose does it serve to heap scorn on the old place? Did it not serve me at the time? Was I at no point grateful for it?

But in the specific case of the ego, of the illusion of disunity, here is what CWG says on the subject:

"My divine purpose in dividing Me was to create sufficient parts of Me so that I could know Myself experientially. There is only one way for the Creator to know itself experientially as the Creator, and that is to create. And so I gave to each of the countless parts of Me (to all of My spirit children) the same power to create which I have as the whole.

This is what your religions mean when they say that you were created in the "image and likeness of God." This doesn't mean, as some have suggested, that or physical bodies look alike (although God can adopt whatever physical form God chooses for a particular purpose). It does mean that our essence is the same. We are composed of the same stuff. We ARE the "same stuff"! With all the same properties and abilities--including the ability to create physical reality out of thin air.

My purpose in creating you, My spiritual offspring, was for Me to know Myself as God. I have no way to do that save through you. Thus it can be said (and has been, many times) that My purpose for you is that you should know yourself as Me."

(Quoted from CWG Book 1, pp. 25-26)
