KND and billy and mandy were produced in the early-mid-2000s. science has already proven that societal trends change as time progresses, and with it the interests of children. that's why hoolahoops and easy bake stuff was popular for kids in the 70s but isnt popular anymore.
the best way i can summarize it is 'kids these days.' its not that TTG is worse than KND or Xiaolin Showdown, but it's that you grew up watching KND and stuff like that, which was specifically made to target your generation, while TTG is made to target this generation of adolescents.
there were definitely 17 year olds back in 2006 that thought ed edd n eddy wasn't funny, but what matters is that there were kids like us during that time that thought ed edd n eddy was funny. that's why they made it, so they could get our viewership. now CN has TTG so that they can get the viewership of today's youth, and it works for them.

easy bake isnt popular anymore because people got severely injured
and if they wanna target adolescents, they should go to loving nick jr. or some stuff like that next to blues clues where ttg belongs

the difference is that shows like ed edd n eddy didn't teach bad morals, offer special interest material or bastardize an already good cartoon to make it "more child friendly", then proceeding to turn around and insult all the old fans saying "they just don't get it"
this idea of "child-friendly" being lazily-written, watered-down filler needs to loving die
Neverending Story is a kids movie, yet you have a horse drown in mud on-screen and a demon wolf who wants to slice up and devour the main character, a little kid, as an on-screen presence the entire movie
timeless classic
