To decry these Supreme Gods and label them as "demigods" is radically preposterous.

could not agree more, there is no such thing as Semi or Demi Gods in Hindu Dharma. they are Devas and should be addressed as Deva simple.
If we read the Bhagvat Gita in context we would understand it is not the Deva worship that Lord Krishna condemns but our material desires that binds us in this bhotic world. Even worshiping Lord Krishna for material gain would result in returning to this world.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
