The thing is that those metrics are very poor metrics that don't correlate well to the "true ideal performance", even if compared to a subjective manager's intuition with all the randomness and biases.

Replacing a subjective metric that's at least somewhat effective with a metric that's totally useless (because those inherent inaccuracies/biases are even worse than even a poor manager's judgement), that's throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The primary purpose of a performance metric is to measure performance, and being prejudice-resistant is something that's nice to have - the primary reason why you implement a metric is not because you need something that can be argued.
