Small arms should do absolutely zero to vehicles.
Teamwork for thee, but no teamwork for me, such is the motto of the anti vehicle infantry.

Using weapons that aren't designed to kill a tank, because lol, "why shouldn't my AR kill a tank."

No, they shouldn't. Could you imagine if LAVs were immune to all small weapons fire? Vehicles should have great resistances, as that is what sets them apart from infantry. The vehicles should be able to be harassed by people with light arms. In New Eden, the smallest Rifter can still tickle an Avatar's shields and armor, so why should Light weapons not effect vehicles? The divide isn't nearly as wide. Furthermore, how does it make logical sense? If I fire, say, a Scrambler Rifle at an HAV, it's shields intercept the blast. It isn't like the shields aren't USED, you can see them flash. They are therefore drained due to the power output required to block the shot and re-energize the defensive layer. In any case, its not like the AR or ScR or any anti-infantry weapon will out-do an Anti-Vehicular weapon in any way, shaoe, or form for anti-vehicular warfare. But arbitrarily making them do no damage is just silly. You have high resistances, those are tallied into things when small arms fire hits you, so it is really nothing to worry about. In the OP's example, it was a mass of players doing a significant amount of damage, the OP specifically stating they were just an irritation at best.
See, in EVE, all turrets are anti-ship turrets. Those are the only weapons. The only platform you have is a space ship. In Dust, we have more than one platform.
Why should something designed for taking out people, also do damage to an 80 ton vehicle? That doesn't make sense. Even a .50cal doesn't do anything to a tank. Why should an SMG damage a tank?

Like anybody in RND knows anything about vehicles.

So you're saying that a 50 caliber round doesn't even tickle a tank? For some reason I highly doubt that. Would it hurt it much? No not at all. Would it still damage the vehicle? Yes. So why shouldn't our small arms do minimal damage that can barely even be noticed.
It's a .50 cal... vs a tank.
