I feel like "Newbie Dash" gives RD more respect and sympathy than a lot of people realize.

My main problem with it is actually that I don't find it very funny at all, and in particular I find the impressions part difficult to watch. I think it might have been nice to have some indication that the Wonderbolts would have stopped calling her that if she was still upset, but I don't know what the right way to suggest that would be.
What I mostly like about it is that Rainbow becoming a Wonderbolt makes me happy, and the fact that she reclaimed the "Rainbow Crash" nickname reminds me how far she's come. She acts bad in this episode because she's anxious and insecure, and that's sympathetic to me.

This episode is honestly not as bad as the majority of the fandom's viewpoints indicate. The moral is kind of clunky and the lack of humour contributes no means of lessening the impact of the episode's structural inadequacies, but it's mostly an okay watch (and certainly better than a number of S6's other episodes).
