Plenty of NES games had checkpoints, and when those checkpoints were fucked up or unfair, no one was like "Wow what a great challenge".
If you dont believe me, go and find someone who enjoyed losing to the final boss in ninja gaiden, and going all the way back to the start of 6 god damn fucking 1.
GTA V's checkpoints arent gamebreaking by any means. You often have to repeat fairly large sections of the missions. Given that combat is tougher, and that once body armor goes, you can only take a few hits if not a OSK, checkpoints are very welcome.
