The fact that a low energies we have renormalizable theories is i.m.o. just because any nonrenormalizable terms have renormalized to zero when integrating out high energy physics.

I would agree with anon that there are no valid arguments against a nonrenormalizable theory.

If it’s nonrenormalizable you don’t have a theory.

It’s true that a nonrenormalizable theory like a naive approach to quantizing gravity is in some sense not a theory at all, as it never makes predictions about high energies (one must measure an infinite number of constants to fix the theory).
