I presume you must be an expert on astronomy to make such a bold claim.

Whether we classify it as a planet or an asteroid isn't really important
It's just another celestial body that revolves around the Sun, if I pulled out of my ass that planets must be bigger than X in diameter then I could make Mercury stop being a planet or magically turn Ceres into a planet or whatever
Who gives a shit
Also dwarf planets are mostly spheric with just one or maybe two exceptions on the solar system so it's really not something anyone would waste time arguing
After all, dwarf planets are just smaller versions of the rocky planets

the "definition" of planet has to do with the object clearing its orbit not size.
generally speaking everything that is rounded due to gravity is a planet. moons are planets exoplanets are planets

What's amusing is that this isn't the first time this kind of debate has happened in the astronomical community. Back when Ceres was first discovered it was widely considered to be a planet; you can find old university textbooks that list it as such. But decades later when astronomers realized there were a bunch of objects in that vicinity, they decided a new category was in order.

basically the choice was to either decide pluto wasn't a planet, or add the other 300 or so objects quite similar to pluto to the list of planets.
