But if you really need to justify that it's then just consider Decade Kuuga to be a Secondary Rider for Decade instead of an actual main series AU Rider.

I don't hate Decade Kuuga, per say (although lord knows he earned the fan nickname "Yuuseless"). I just hate Rising Ultimate form. Ultimate was a gorgeous suit and it's one use was an awesome moment that was the culmination of Yuusuke's journey as a character and his resolve to help others. Rising Ultimate makes no sense because the Rising powers were developed by accident and, if anything, kept Yuusuke from having to use Ultimate form. Amazing Mighty was the ultimate version of the Rising powers, and even that paled in comparison to Ultimate. Basically, the Rising powers were an unexpected but surprisingly effective way of powering up the Arcle, but Ultimate form is still the - pun unavoidable - ultimate expression of what Kuuga can be. So the idea of a "Rising Ultimate" form makes no sense to me.

And it's really damn ugly. Like Super TaToBa/Masked Form Sasword level ugly.

Also I'm a self-admitted Kuuga snob.
