It's also possible your solution wasn't as elegant, maintainable, or as performant in all cases as you thought.
If you're going to approach upper management with such a hostile attitude, you need to run it by some peers first to have them poke holes in the idea and get onboard.
Why I called your approach hostile: you phrased it as "challenging their intellect". That's not how good engineers pitch changes.

That usually doesn't result in being called to HR and asked to remove everything from one's computer.
Everyone in our organization is really “rank-orientated”, I challenge their intellect and their baby they were proud of - it was foundation for our organization to even exist in company. Even though it was outdated, poorly designed system, that produced high percent of outages and heavy on maintenance. But it was not my place or position to do that.
From now on I moto “not my business”
