I agree with you if you are only considering American culture.

Cultures that used the symbol prior to WW2 still exist and shouldn't change because of an historical atrocity. I could see it affecting countries that were involved in WW2 but if your culture had nothing to do with it people shouldn't expect you to stop using it.

I wouldn't argue with you if you said maintaining cultural values is not a practical reason. I just wanted to make a point.

That is totally dependent on the time and place. I certainly don't think of Japan every time I see a red circle.
