You are right in a sense, but most people think the exception is a
good idea. Myself, I would prefer something more generic
(com.apple.TimeMachine.exclude rather than com.apple.XCodeGenerated?)
The fact that you do not suggests, as others have pointed out, that
you are abusing the purpose of the build directory. So perhaps what
you see as an annoyance will encourage you to change your practices
for the better :)

The point is that losing the build directory should never be a problem
for XCode. It will simply be regenerated.
Why have you lost builds, anyway? Can you not simply use Time Machine
to rewind the entire project directory to a particular point in time,
and then rebuild?
