I really can't understand how people don't get this concept.

For two reasons. First of all a lot of people, in particular music snobs, stick their nose up at pop music, calling it vapid, talentless, lesser, not "real music", etc. She has said from The Fame days "pop music will never be low brow" meaning pop music won't be looked down upon. The second reason is Warhol did a style called PopArt where he took pop culture icons such as Marilyn Monroe or Campbell's soup can and stuck it into museums. Essentially taking pop culture and turning it into art. Gaga wants to do the reverse where she takes art pieces and themes such as Boticelli's Venus, sculptures, greek/roman mythology, women equality, fame, astronomy, etc. and turn them into pop culture.
Her point is to prove that pop music isn't meaningless and that it can be art. She also introduces her fans and the GP to lots of different art and encourages them to be artistic as well.
She didn't give them [read: the haters] any real reason to hate her. It's all a bunch of Angela Cheng clones passing around stories about her tuck or "25 million dollar flop promo"
She doesn't make it any better by giving them the attention they crave 
What kind of career highlight.
