Are you disputing that the Ibn Ezra was a great rishon? He definitely was one of our greatest thinkers, and his greatness is evident in his voluminous writings. I think many people I disagree with are great. R’ Yoel Teitlebaum, zt”l, had many views I don’t agree with, but I’d still say he was one of the great posqim and Jewish leaders of the 20th century. Likewise, the Yam Shel Shlomo was one of our great minds, even though I reject much of his approach.
