There's a difference between being a squadmate and love interest and having a role in the actual plot. The ME2 characters may get the former, but they can't have the latter. Liara is guarenteed to live. Either Ash and Kaidan will live and they're functionally interchangeable. None of the ME2 characters can have the significance they can in the next game.
With the probable exceptions being Garrus and Tali.
I'm very pro Garrus and Tali in ME3, but neither are very significant plot wise after picking them up in the Citadel in ME1. However, that doesn't make them less significant to Shepard.
I don't understand the animosity from some ME1 LI supporters. Ash/Kaidan and Liara are guaranteed for ME3 and those characters have been significant to the plot thus far. So what if they weren't in ME2? That means they can't die. Garrus and Tali can (and the rest of the ME2 squad, of course), so their supporters are justifiably worried about what role they'll play in ME3 if at all.
People waited two years to continue their adventures with these characters and instead they got a kick in the nuts. That's the so what.
As for being "important to plot" - overrated. I'm sure if you ask any of the characters' fans whether they would want them as a squad mate with lots of dialogue and interaction or a minor role that is "important to plot" they would pick the squad mate.
Also I would say Tali's role will turn out to be pretty damn significant. to the story the quarian/geth plot is played out where people think it's going.
I still fail to see the issue...I loved ME1 and I loved the characters. We got 2 out of the possible 5 back and Wrex has an extremely important role as the leader of his clan. I actually enjoyed Liara's missions in ME2, what little there were and was happy to see Kaiden doing his own thing. You have to realize and look at it in the context of the game. Sheppard was dead for 2 years...people aren't just going to sit around and wait hoping that he might magically come back...they move on with their lives.
And at the same time as Sheppard you can't expect them to drop everything and run off to save the galaxy with you just because you're back. Thats why I understood Liara's plight against the Shadow Broker and Kaiden's attitude towards me and Cerberus. They have their own problems to deal with.
I can see why fans of those characters would be slightly miffed, but look at the bigger picture. The first two games are setting the stage for the final battle. Instead of ranting on how ME2 characters and LIs should get the shaft we should instead band together and beg/plead/threaten BioWare to expand on ALL aspects of the previous two games.
