My question is, what is so "bad" or wrong about the "human concept" as WL defines it?

Nothing is wrong with it. In fact, every point has verses to support it. What Lee calls the human concept is actually the Bible's concept.
Lee believed that the Bible was teaching something "deeper" than the actual words, and so threw out all the words that he felt weren't speaking to that deeper matter. But the fact is, if there is deeper truth, it wouldn't be contrary to the plain word, but would include and support it, not make it invalid or problematic.
