I strongly disagree. Bond is white and always has been. Ian Fleming had a drawing of his vision of Bond, and guess what? He was white. This is one of those roles where race is important
I agree with you if the film is set between 1950 and 1970. But a modern day Bond in no way requires a specific color. He should be a Brit/Welsh/Scottish/Irish of some kind (and have a good British accent)), and that's about it when it comes to race/nationality.

Then they should have made that decision and cast him in Casino Royale. Then you establish a new M, and a sort of new origin setup for the character. There's no transition.
James Bond by definition requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief. But having Dainel Craig walk off the screen in Spectre and then having Idris Elba on screen in the next one referring to events that happened in Craig's Bond movies is just silly.
