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?

The only legal out is a 240v pump in a 6-15 or hard wiring the 120v
pump.
Or a 12 volt pump or a medical grade isolation transformer

12v would work but the wall wart would be on a GFCI.
Isolation transformers are not a fix for anything in the code.
They still must have a grounded conductor if you use a chapter 3
wiring method on the secondary (unless it is part of a listed
assembly).

..
Or some
inspectors will accept a single 15 amp twist-lock outlet - making it a
"dedicated" outlet for a single use. - equivalent to a "hard wired"
device..

Not for the last couple cycles.

"210.8 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection for
Personnel. Ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for
personnel shall be provided as required in 21O.8(A) through
(C). The ground-fault circuit-interrupter shall be installed in
a readily accessible location"

"(A)(5) Unfinished basements - for purposes of this section,
unfinished basements are defined as portions or areas
of the basement not intended as habitable rooms and
limited to storage areas, work areas, and the like"

That is seen to be pretty unambitious. All of the old exceptions are
gone except for a fire alarm system (that is not a smoke detector)

Or install the outlet inside the case of the furnace. The
furnace isn't GFCI protected either.

Maybe but you might get cited for a 110.3(B)
modifying a listed product.

Why not just fix the friggin pump? If water is getting into the
windings or the wiring compartment the mo fo is broke.
