In hindsight, the OP should never have accepted the rebooking (despite that it was most likely the best possible solution in terms of connections, flight times etc, which many of us would have been happy with, e.g. AA 77W is great!) or at least insisted that an acceptable solution about miles/points was found before the new itinerary was accepted.
I second the comments about rhetoric; that kind of language will not get you nowhere!
I (and many others) have received original routing credit in similar circumstances. It is not that unusual, and so all FFPs have processes to deal with it. You have paid for these miles in your fare.
You need to deal with the FFP not the airline you had booked, because only the FFP can credit you with miles. They will confirm with the airline the involuntary reroute.
