Technically they're not wrong, in that an uploaded copy of your mind would indeed cease to be human, as it's now a sophont computer program rather than a sophont animal. But it's still a person, just not a human person.
I find the implication that you don't believe in the possibility of doing evil rather disturbing. Presumably it's absolute moral standards you don't think exist, not that there's no such thing as wrongdoing? If there's anything I've learned here, it's that we tend to use the same words to mean very different things.
The idea that altering the human condition is inherently some kind of crime against nature is quite laughable, though.
