Here's an economy in, say, 1990. It has X amount of money.
Here's "the same" economy in 2020, except it has 20% more people, and 20% more produced per worker per year, so it produces 44% more output than it did in 1990. (All numbers made up on the spot for illustration purposes. Your economic growth may vary.) When I say "44% more output", I don't mean measured by dollars; I mean actual amount of stuff produced - cars and steel and food and movies.
Now, what should the money supply be in 2020? X? 1.2 X (to account for population growth)? 1.44 X (to account for amount of stuff being produced)? If the money supply is only X (no inflation, by your definition), then things that cost $1 in 1990 would cost $0.69 in 2020. That's... not what most of us consider to be "zero inflation". That's deflation.
The normal definition of zero inflation is that the cost of things remains constant, not that the total amount of money remains constant. That's reasonable because most of us get paid in a fixed number of dollars, not in a fixed fraction of the money supply.
There are different views about what inflation is, and certainly, monetary inflation is a way more useful measure than price inflation:
Also what you think is good bad depends strongly on where you fit in. If you're an economist then you think 10% year over year rent inflation is good and 10% year over year wage inflation as bad. If you actually work for a living then you think the reverse.
Even the article you linked says "However, there is a general consensus on the importance and responsibility of central banks and monetary authorities in setting public expectations of price inflation and in trying to control it." That is, economists recognize the importance and value of price inflation as a measure, while they are divided on how to consider monetary inflation.
I've given you a couple of chances to make a case that monetary inflation is the one that matters, and you have provided exactly zero (other than the bare claim that it was so). So I'm going to stick with my position, which is that your claim is wrong.
The use of a basket of products to calculate something that the government calls inflation (but isn't), doesn't reflect the true lost value of money and only benefits the people who get the inflation money first. If you hold on to your money, you are being basically piled. This is no service for society, but to policymakers and to business dealing with the state.
