This would seem to me to be a problem with "passing over Mitzvot" (Ein 
Me'avirin Al Hamitzvot), which is Mede'oraita, at least according to 
many (based on the Tosfot in Yoma 33a). We sometimes allow a person to 
delay a mitzvah if they are going to perform it in a more complete or 
beautiful manner later - but to give up a mitzvah so another person can 
keep it..? And who knows the reward for a Mitzvah - how can we say which 
is more important? In a case such as this I am sure we cannot judge what 
gives Nachat Ruach to Hashem.
This is a Mitzvah which a person has to keep for themselves - the person 
with the Matzah has the Mitzvah of eating the Matzah, and the Gadol 
HaDor is anus.
