My "argument from ignorance" comment seems pretty rock solid, given that the original comment began with the words "I don't understand why..."

That is literally the definition of an argument from ignorance.

He's saying "I don't understand why..." shouldn't be followed with a conclusion or statement (here, "They have literally no value to society"). That it should instead be followed with "could someone please explain this?"
