The value of an altcoin, the true market value, is in my mind determined by two things. First, how many different ways can I spend it reliably? For example, I can spend BTC on goods on Overstock.com. I can spend Dogecoin on a tip for a comment on Reddit. BTC is already more valuable to me than Dogecoin.
Second, is the size and composition of the specific altcoin network. For example, lots of new altcoins use central checksumming during the early stages to prevent early market manipulation. This is bad, since the coin is then for a period of time controlled by a central entity. BTC and LTC are mature enough to not have this problem anymore.
In other words, sure bring on more altcoins/blockchains. I don't care. Let's let the market decide that. In the end the total market cap of all these coins will converge and the more coins are created every day the more we approach the point of people starting to be able to tell the difference.
