You also haven't addressed the fact that at any given moment, the incentive is there for you to win your next game. There is never a scenario in which losing is preferable, unless you knew the future and were guaranteed a certain number of wins and losses.

THIS DOESNT MATTER! If you can look at a stretch of someone’s games, and they would be better off having lost a particular game rather than winning it, then the system is broken. Period. It doesn’t matter if you can’t predict the future and exploit it. If winning ever makes you worse off the system is garbage.

It also doesn’t matter that everyone ranks up faster after the change, because there can be situations where you would rank up faster having lost a particular game rather than winning it! Again, pure broken garbage.

Even regardless of the actual numbers, the principle is stupid: winning carries a penalty in the form of a higher point loss on the next game you lose because it resets your losing anti-streak. Winning should never confer any kind of disadvantage or penalty ever.
