The players were told to stay off the field. It wasn't whether or not anyone agrees with it...it was stay off the field. The ejected player did not.

Yes, it is exciting to hit a HR and the players should be happy, but that isn't the point. They were told to stay off the field and they didn't. Same with a sac bunt. If the players are told by the umpire to stay off, and they don't, then they should be prepared to accept the punishment.

If the association that oversees the umpires has an issue with that umpire, they can deal with him after the game.
