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

Or just do it right. There are lots of condensate pumps on GFCI,
including my Little Giant. Six years of operation for both heat and
AC and no trips. There is no reason a new pump and a new GFCI should
be tripping. It's very likely either something is defective or it's
wired incorrectly. THAT is the bottom line.
