My conclusion is that God in the end willed today’s minor heresies to thrive because given the sinful human nature that was the in the best, though imperfect, interest of Christianity. Are there any human beings, Angelos, who can presume to know the mind of God? This line of reasoning reminds me of another recent non-Orthodox poster (who has, in the last couple of months, remained silent) who tried to argue that the Great Schism of the eleventh century was "beneficial" to Orthodoxy.
Your comment of "today’s minor heresies" is meaningless. Heresy is heresy, heresy is a distortion of the true Faith. Period. The Orthodox Church does not distinguish between "major" and "minor" heresies, in the same way as it does not categorise sin as "venial" and "mortal". It is impossible to be "a little bit pregnant".
