Despite the fact that we have seen so many recolors and copies of Beyblades in the series, implying that two people can share the same Bey name

One thing I want to point out is even if other characters had recolors of the same it wasnt treated as the main bey Who has an avatar or resonance. Most of these recolors or even treated as trash beys the anime don’t even acknowledge them. No avatar means your a generic bey And not like they ones that have the avatar. It doesnt help when the recolors arent even the same gen as the current ones the main cast has so it really isnt a good example. Fumiya was unlucky like lodin. Xhan, kyle And blind/basara (this got less hate compare to the rest). They where simple use as a way to make longinus, fafnir And others comeback the writers should've estsblish the same bey can use while having an avatar but Not related to the other ones. I feel sorry For these characters cause their actually good characters

To be honest, those Free fans were disrespecting Free by saying that Fumiya stole Fafnir from him. So, they're telling me that Free, a superhuman who is built different gets his bey stolen by some regular, wimpy kid with glasses (no disrespect to Fumiya, but it's true). Like, that's really disrespectful to Free!

Free is extremely overrated anyways. Like seriously, he doesn't deserve that kind of acclaim. Free is a typical overpowered anime edgelord who has received about much development and depth as a marvel dark horse comics protagonist. If anything, "superhuman" and "built different" are just many of the excuses used to defend these one dimensional characters. 

At least Fumiya had a tangible personality even if it was awkward and cringy.

Well free achieve his super free form cause he knew that other bladers where finally cought up to him. Lui Who beat him an a unoficial match, valt was making wave at thst time 3 out of 5he big 5 had fallen to valt & lastly shu was going wild as well. All these were at his level now a level he thought that no one would reach anytime soon. So if he didn’t have his super form he would've 1. Lost to lui the second time plus lose to valt faster & clean or if it was reverse like if he fought shu/red Eye it would've been bye bye drain fafnir.

Personally, I appreciate Rashad having a copy of Valt’s Bey. I think it emphasizes Rashad’s “I want to be Valt”-esque personality and obsession — and using a recolor of Valt’s Bey cements that personality. Had he have his own original Bey, it might not fit his character very well. I am interested in Rashad getting his own Bey, however; and especially if having his own Bey lets him learn a lesson like “be yourself and appreciate who you are”

I honestly agree with this, giving Rashad Brave and Savior Valkyrie can set up great character development, hopefully burst uses it to its full potential

Wholeheartedly agree with just about everything that you have said. Sad part is that Rashad is arguably a lot more creative and well developed than most of the overly dramatic characters in the burst franchise as is, and he has hardly done anything yet so you can imagine how I view a lot of the characterization. 

Some Valt fans truly make me sick too, the way they worship him as some type of perfect unfailing character (and ironically, completely perfect and mistakeless characters are considered some of the absolute worst in terms of writing quality and story building) and feel like any form of breach regarding his character his negative. Like seriously, I remember Valt fans going crazy after the DB teaser was leaked (It looked like he had black sclera due to poor quality) because they thought Valt having an evil arc would be a "betrayal to his character" and were much more comfortable with seeing him acquire zero development whilst more or less having the same role he has had for the past 3 seasons- yeah, that's as crazy as some Valt fans can be. Personally, I would admit that Valt is also my personal favorite burst charatcer but if I am being brutally honest, Rashad is a lot more respectable as a character. Valt is one of those typical overly enthusiastic, morally bright, journey to the top recurring anime protagonists whilst Rashad is actually a lot more creative in pretty much all aspects from design to personality to role in the story. Valt uses tons of overly used character tropes and has a basic design alongside a totally generic journey and moral complexity, in other words, he is what many people would call a "safe play." A basic overused charatcers full of easy and overused concepts and a low amount of creative depth which are quite common in anime protagonists and kids show characters. Rashad on the other hand is an actual risk and a thoroughly thought out character which is far more applaudable.

The hardcover Valt fans will absolutely loathe me for this post.
