As someone who's got over 50 kills in TDM before, I'm probably one of those players you speak about, and my response to you is this;
You're absolutely correct.
Not in that the game should restrict lobbies by level (the population is too small and you can hit lv50 within a week anyway) or that great players should only play private (they paid the same for the game as you and shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get a game)
But in that we must be turning a huge number of people off the game? I tend to agree. The learning curve of this game is huge coming in cold, and nobody enjoys getting stomped 5-20 and not even understanding why.
I think the answer is that clans should self-restrict themselves to only playing in 2s and 3s. That way you give your opponents a fighting chance and when you do inevitably win, at least the stomping won't be too harsh. Running in 4s, 5s or even 6s in public matches is not only bad for the general health of the game, but it's pretty boring too as there is zero challenge.
If this was something like CoD that had a huge population I would say carry on as normal. But it doesn't, and if you love the game then you need to realise that such actions only hasten its demise.
