Ok, good thing you had a laugh, even if you did so misunderstanding the entire point. I'll put it simply for you:

Alchemical abilities = cool.
Cool = good.
Taking away cool abilities = bad.
The ending takes away cool abilities = bad ending.

I don't give a single shit whether you think it's logically, thematically or artistically consistent.

>He gave up his abilities so he could resurrect Al, not his father
Patently false.
