So a series is crap if it can't generate a racer that can take away a championship from the racer/team with the most wins in F1 history.


You are exaggerating my claims. I don't mean F3000 was a "crappy" series, but you can't deny GP2 is a stronger feeder series. When talking about F3000's low tide, I mainly mean the very last years, when also the amount of teams and drivers was reducing. At highpoint around the year of 2000 and earlier there were more entries than positions on the starting grid. Back then it was a strong and attractive series.
You keep changing your story. Bourdais wins F3000 in the era of Alonso Webber + Heidfeld (within 3 years). You counter by saying that the 3 year old GP2 series is stronger - maybe it will be maybe it won't, what's the point? It didn't exist when the racer in question was racing.
