1. I don't claim that morals are relative; this is simple fact.
2. Just because I acknowledge the above fact does not mean I am not allowed to consider any moral system better than any other, on any grounds I wish. What I do not do evaluate moral standards based upon what a fictional character is said to think of the specific practices, because that is the point of the entire debate: your moral system is no more objective or superior to anyone else's.

Obviously, I will find nothing in a moral code I like when that moral code does not place the highest priority on human happiness and progress. That doesn't mean my specifics are objectively superior, but I know under which system I'd prefer to live.

Sorry I doused your strawman.
