I want a useful search engine not a political one. If the most relevant result to my query is loaded with garbage web design I still want it at the top of my search results because I can decide if I want to return to that site for myself whereas I can't magically correct some unseen ranking parameter that I don't care about.

Taking page load times into account is not political in any way. Faster load times provide a better user experience.
Who is this mythical universal user for whom it provides a better experience? Your parent poster is a user and it seems his experience is better when he gets the most accurate results, not a subset that is fastest. I tend to agree.
