"something designed to violate user privacy"

I fail to see why sending the referer is a privacy concern. Following that logic, every datapoint is a privacy concern. From screen resolution to mouse movement, everything can be abused to build profiles. Referer headers have a host of valid usecases but if you are opposed any data being shared you'll probably dismiss all of them.
