Has the Linux kernel project ever had a real problem with that? Linus is not racist or sexist, and nobody is saying he is. Just that he loses his temper and yells at people when he shouldn't.

It appears that Linus' temper problem has been used to slip in "more diverse and stronger" to something apparently unrelated to diversity. This is the sort of thing that gives what should be trivial and uncontroversial (A code of conduct) a terrible reputation for being the first sign of entryism by extremists who try to destroy communities from the inside.

The kernel doesn't need a CoC. All it needs is for Linus to say he's going to chill out a bit and for others to hold him to it. But now he's been convinced/pressured/bullied into adopting this deeply ideological document, it's probably only a matter of time before the kernel community is twisting itself into a pulp.

An abusive atmosphere attracts people who also engage in abusive behavior, and drives away that simply don’t want be abused. This hurts diversity and recruitment.
