Sadly for a service meant to be about convenience I am starting to go back to cabs
I would report the incident to Uber, they're not supposed to cherry pick the rides that they want and reject the ones they don't want. They're not really even supposed to ask where you're going... one could just say, "I put it into the app"

Just to note, the driver doesn't see your inputted destination until they start the ride, to prevent exactly what happened above.
