I do not like that bad event synergy. And no fake math is going to convince me otherwise.

The only bad events unlocked by misfortune are barbarian, triton, and knight attacks. Order and Growth blocks the majority of poploss events. Yes, a 10% poploss on your capital turn 5 hurts, but since most of those events not blocked by Order and Growth, including Barbarians can't occur before turn 5 or 10, that's one of those once in a blue moon type things. Using it as the basis of your argument would be silly.

If misfortune is so awful, how would you pay for the 200 point difference between luck 3 and misfortune 2? If you do it by taking turmoil, you'd get just as many poploss events early and midgame simply from increased event chances and all the common poploss events unlocked by turmoil 2. And you'd definitely have less money regardless of poploss and unrest events simply from worse scales.
