Once you accept everything that they say as axiomatic, the rest is crystal clear.

Precisely. It is the old "Lincoln is perfect therefore what his critics say is wrong, and since his critics are all wrong he must be perfect" game that they play. It's wholly circular onto itself, but accept any one point in the circle and you can navigate to all of the others.

No one ever says that Lincoln was perfect.

But he was a great and good hearted man, and your carping won't change that.
