To add, there are TWO reactions that would distract from the purpose of
the qorban:

Both the person who is turned off by how Hashem made this particular
kohein (either through birth, disease, or allowing him to suffer an
acctident), and the person who would then turn his qorban into a bein
adam lachaveiro rather than a qorban. The one who would be thinking
about how touching it was the such a person overcame disability to help
them bring it. Rather than simply thinking about G-d.

Even according to R' Chaim Volozhiner or R' Shimon Shkop, who see bein
adam lachaveiro as the ultimate purpose of life, and thus presumably bein
adam laMaqom as a derived value, there is a time to care for the goose,
rather than everything being about collecting the golden eggs. In fact,
the farmer is likely to spend nearly al of his time into caring for the
goose rather than the ultimate payoff.

Tir'u baTov!
