I hate the new quest system.
I've played DBD since it first came out off and on with my friends and siblings, this new quest system feel awful. Feels more like a checklist than a journey. It's so bad, that I have stopped playing after 1 game, every time I feel like playing. It's killing my mood to continue playing this game.

Agreed.
DbD has no story mode, so the Tome/Compendium is the closest thing. Tomes weren't just about earning Rift fragments. Sometimes they had themes, the players could choose pathways, and they have charms/badges available to be earned at the player's own pace. It felt rewarding to be working towards that end goal. The Tomes weren't perfect, but they provided goals, rewards, and a feeling of accomplishment, and they could be worked on at any time.
Without the Tome's pathways, it becomes a checklist of chores. By being able to complete multiples in one trial, the sense of accomplishment is severely diminished. The fact that these quests will only be available during this Rift and the timetable on which they're released means players are limited as to when they can do them and must be on BHVR's schedule. They also can't earn the Quest rewards after the Rift is over. Players can no longer bank rewards for later, either, so their rewards are less meaningful.
Even the name change to "Quests" is just another step towards complete genericness. "Tome" and "Ritual" were appropriate for DbD's horror them. Why would a group of people or creatures being tormented by an immortal, insatiable entity be going on "quests"?

Also agreed.
Feels kinda irrelevant popping up in the background.
They remove everything that made the game unique imo. Streamlining - to make it simpler is also more flat and boring.
Not sure if this will really help to keep new players for longer.
And the rename to "quests" is just dumb.

I have to agree.
The quests don't make me feel accomplished in the same way. I am very frustrated that they unlocked all of the stories in the tomes as well. I love getting to unlock the stories, because it feel like I earned those too. I also feel like the new system greatly discourages players from trying to use and try different characters and improving your skills. I also noticed that you are no longer able to preview your tome challenge while your match was loading in like you could prior.
