Players are going to eventually want something that's not SUPER SERIOUS CORP WARS. Or something that isn't team based. Players are eventually going to want something they can go to, and just relax and play. Players are going to want a FFA game mode at some point,m and keeping it from them will only drive them away.
"well fine, we don't need those players anyway"
You may not need them, But CCP does for a multitude of reasons.
1: a source of income
2: player base growth
3: player base happiness
4: Variety
and so on, and so forth.
Just because you guy's don't want it, does not mean that the thousands of players who will eventually be flocking to this game wont want it. You're all being selfish, and that'll eventually kill this game.
Make everyone happy, give everyone their own little place to play, no everyone will want to take part in the corp battles, not everyone will want to play with teams. a large portion of the future play base will just want a place to veg.
Keeping things out of this game just because it isn't cannon will ruin it.

Considering war barges are going to be flying mercs and their corps between battles, I actually would not be surprised in the least if MCC could be shot down before they reach the planet. And I think it could make for excellent gameplay in the war over the planets.
A battle breaks out over one of eve's many planets as an attacking force attempts to capture a planetary installation. Friendly and enemy ships are exchanging blows as the war barges start pouring in like D-day at Normandy. The defending force sends every unit they can spare to knock down as many war barges as possible before they make it to the planet, and defense installations on the ground begin firing at the approaching barges. The small group of defending frigates/destroyers make it in front of the descending defenseless war barges and open fire. Just as their about to blow up the first warbarge, the MCC's launch. Suddenly a dozen targets have spawned countless more. There's no stopping it now. The fleet radios down to the planet, "We have lost control of the situation. Prepare for the arrival of the invasion force."
This may seem kinda boring to a merc's perspective but it would make for some exciting moments in Eve!
EVE players wont be able to destroy war barges, or any of the MCC's that fly down to planets.
Why?
Because that would ruin the game.
