People that already have Destiny 1 will likely see the messy state of the game and think maybe they should buy D2, because Bungie's obviously not going to fix any of the problems in the old game: they only support the current release. Yes, there is the chance that some will think "well if the old game is this messed up, I have no faith the new one is any better." Bungie doesn't care about those players. They're marketing to those who are interested enough in the game to give it another shot. Potential buyers of Destiny 1, meaning those who have never played, aren't going to know about the problems the game has until after they buy it, at which point Bungie/Activision has their money and doesn't care. Alternatively, they'll ask if they need D1 in order to play D2, which of course the answer is No. Therefore, they may skip D1 altogether and never know about the messy state it's in. Bungie does not care, because they are no longer actively trying to sell Destiny: they're wholly focused on D2. If those that start the franchise at D2 eventually go back and buy D1, they wont care about the messy state because they'll likely only have bought it for the story (such that it was) and various background lore. Sort of like reading the Hobbit after already having read Lord of the Rings. Unnecessary, but good for additional information. So ultimately, it's disappointing to see Bungie leave D1 in the condition that it is in, but understandable. They figure that people will either buy it knowing it's flaws, or will hate the flaws in it enough to go buy D2. Either way, it's money in Bungie's coffers, and that's all that really matters to them.
