You are absolutely right, however I would prefer fillers over the stretched one-chapter-episodes. A good example was ep. 482, 20 minutes of my time literally wasted. So quality > quantity, even if it means that I have to deal with fillers. At least there I know what to expect and there is no danger that good manga chapters might turn into anime disasters.
