Does he actually think he's worthless? I can imagine various other reasons for him not wanting his son to take over. Being unfitting or not good enough doesn't make him worthless for example.

It's not just the current situation. You just need to look at how Miyazaki reacted to most of Goro's work. The only reason why Goro even got to direct was Toshio Suzuki.

Maybe Goro doesn’t really like animation?
