The problem is that for him for Superman not to suck he has to be less human and thus less interesting.

He wants a Superman that goes through the motions of having super powers and confronting radical and uber imaginary scenarions, completely disregarding the characters humanity.

He sees that aspect of the character as a weakness, which is why he hates anything that concentrates on that and why he wishes for angles like what Moore did with Supreme to be applied to the character.

King would rather have a somber Superman that separates himself from humanity over one that's happy that while his people died he got to live thanks to his father's sacrifice.

His ideal Superman is one that is more Super than man even though he claims that he wants a balance.

I've told him many times of stories with that balance and he prefers to insult me instead of actually talk about it, which is why I insult him back...
