And I'm sure you have a link to prove that he made that statement.I should have known that Behr is part of the hatedom too.
Nah, he doesn't hate TNG, VOY and ENT for existing like the Hatedom does but he does hate that they don't all act 100% like 20th century people would in every single way.
But they obviously haven't evolved out of arrogance.The TNG had a tendency of being a little harsh on modern humans, like making negative comments about how violent we were,social customs (primitive) and even clothing and uniforms.
They also frequently stated that they "evolved" out of things like greed, selfishness, bigotry, etc.,
The Ent-D has something like 1000 crew. That doesn't count family, doesn't count any civilians on board. Just the base-size crew.
But they obviously haven't evolved out of arrogance.
Look at "The Neutral Zone": if we ever happened to find people from 16th century in stasis, I expect that we'd show a lot of curiosity about them, and hopefully compassion and understanding about what a cultural shock these people must be suffering, and desire to give them all the help possible to adjust.
Sure, I can see some people feeling a certain annoyance occasionally as well if they proved difficult to handle, and some people might be thinking to themselves "These people are so backwards", but I expect that most would try to be patient and understanding, rather than judgmental, arrogant and contemptuous.
Even if we aren't "evolved". But in "The Neutral Zone", it seems like almost everyone is looking down on the 20th century people, and the episode itself seems to be calling for the viewer to think "look at those stupid yobos, aren't they disgusting".That's not evolved thinking, quite the opposite, it's arrogant and prejudiced.

There's a bit of a difference between being punched in the face and being stabbed with a knife; one will leave you with some discomfort for several days while the other has a good chance of killing you.If you're so eager and willing and quick to ditch morality just so you don't have to get a black eye, all that proves is that you weren't a moral person to begin with.

One thousand is approximately the total number embarked ("Remember Me"). The crew is a subset of that.

No one in-universe really thinks they have, do they? I remember multiple quotes from characters describing humans, and Starfleet types in general, as arrogant. Off the top of my head, Neelix said it in a Voyage episode when describing them to some alien of the week.
