Because the synthesis between organics and synthetics means an end to the cycle of destruction - witness the Quarians and Geth as examples of how wars between a creator race and its synthetic children can go. That this is put to an end once and for all, along with the end of the Reaper threat, is true victory. At last we've overcome our fears of each other (organics fearing/hating other organics, along with organics fearing friendly synthetics). Who cares if the mass relays were destroyed? The coda with the grandfather and grandson shows that we will continue on and that we can reach the stars again - this time on our own terms. The whole thing was about survival, not whether or not the mass relay network would survive for our collective convenience. Furthermore, if it's the synthesis ending, I suspect the plant/animal life would be compatible with all life forms and that the Normandy crew would, in fact, survive quite nicely.
Alright, first of all, you're making the mistake of immediately accepting all of these assumptions without any merit to back them up. Why is synthesis the only option? I'm glad you brought up the Quarians and Geth... because that scenario ended up WONDERFULLY. And if the Reapers never attacked and the Quarians/Geth were left to their own devices, then the two scenarios would most likely be:
A. The Quarians never try to retake their planet and either get a new one or remain in the flotilla. The Geth show absolutely no signs of aggression without the Reapers and it's never implied that this would ever change.
B. The Quarians do eventually set out to retake their planet, and either win the battle or lose it. Either way, there's no reason to support the theory that says the Geth would ever be a threat to organic life over all. Never
There's also EDI, who evolved to support protecting organic life. The only reason you say there even if this "cycle" is because you were told it by a hypocritical VI. Why do you believe him? Because he's got a giant army of space beetles under his command.
Next, even if there was this cycle, why would synthesis be a resolution? Beyond the fact that it's absolutely impossible to suggest a single burst or radiation installed micro-chips in every organic being, how does merging two entirely different entities suddenly mean "peace"? That's like saying that organics will always be peaceful so long as they're only with other organics.. it's just not true! The prospect of a single organic race obliterating itself into extinction is not so far from possibility, even today. Again, this theory of synthetic vs organic has no reason or evidence to back it up, we're just taking it as a fact.
Who cares about the relays blowing up? I do. Without those, the races we came to know and love will never live amongst each other. The galaxy will remain a splintered, dark, isolated, and lonely collage of various civilizations who never meet. How did you get the implication that space travel is possible again? It seems clear to me the implication is that space travel is on the verge of being discovered, which is a colossal step back from where we started.
I think you're trying to convince yourself that you're satisfied with these endings simply because it's all we have. I can sympathize with this, but I can't agree.

" I just dismiss as foolish. Did you honestly expect a whole lot of survivors when you go into battle with tons of über machines that can take a whole lot of damage and kill pretty much any ship you have in one blast?
