Or maybe they’re the ones who are whole because they have the self-awareness to define themselves after everything and everyone was turned to primordial goop.

It all comes down to your personal views. Many times mainstream media shows something that many would consider heaven as "bad" and vice versa.

For many, being a digitalised ego in communion will all of humanity while residing inside what's basically a Matrioska Brain and enjoying eternity. But there is a certain fixation not to escape "reality" (the Rebuild movies are all about anti-escapism) within popular media so such developments are all presented as bad in general.

It is rare to find a differing view outside of scifi and even within sci-fi that's not the norm.

Yeah. That's definitely why Shinji immediately tries to strangle Asuka and Asuka calling Shinji disgusting when he stops. Definitely the actions of "whole", self-aware people.
