Sounds like you're suffering from you can never go back home again issues. Fusion annoyed you enough that you couldn't see the great straight ahead that you like that was still there.I guess you consider DeJohnettes stuff with Lester Bowie, Eddie Gomez and Abercrombie fusion. To me its in the middle. Third Plane, all acoustic trio of Tony Williams, Ron Carter and Herbie Hancock is one of a gazillion things that fit your definition of jazz and they never stopped happening. They were in the record stores and on real jazz radio which has always been rare. Especially out west.
Early Miles electric from Bitches Brew forward was quite electric and fusion. In a Silent Way to me was still jazz even with electric piano and guitar.
No old jazz guys started playing fusion only younger guys did fusion or 95% of it was young guys anyway. Those older guys didn't stop doing there thing. Something changed in you. Jazz became of many sub genres as did rock later. The stuff you liked was still there. Sadly Monk, Mingus, Coltrane and others died. They were one of a kind or a generation if you will. These types are not replaced. There were many still carrying their torch.
