Removing a safety feature is not a good idea and of course a code violation. Get someone who is qualified to work on electrical wiring as your installer does not have a good attitude and is setting himself up for possible liability if someone got hurt or died from using a non-GFCI receptacle. Would you want a family member to plug into that unprotected outlet?

That "unprotected outlet" is a dedicated single use outlet - and
we've plugged into "unprotected outlets" for about 100 years. There
are some circuits that have NO BUSINESS being on GFCI protected
circuits. Perhaps there is a condensate pump that will never
false-trip a GFCI - but I haven't seen many.
