It's less valuable because it is subjective.
This brings up a question. How do you justify your moral indignation for slavery in the OT times? If morality is a social construct and society decided it was a benefit in ages past, who are you to judge it now? It seems to me on your view, morality is rooted in habit, custom, feeling and/or fashion--nothing objective about those.
