I guess my first step would be to talk with my breed club and bring up the problem and see what they would have to say, but anyways I'm sure I've stated my point.

Hopefully that wasn't too much rambling.
But how is crossbreeding bettering a breed? When one crossbreeds (for example) a Yorkie with a Maltese, you get a Morkie, not a better Yorkshire Terrier or better Maltese.

To better the Yorkie you take Yorkies that have the best characteristics (traits) and breed them together to pass on those characteristics to their offspring. The offspring should be as good as the parents, ideally should be better. You try and attain perfection in the breed by breeding those with the best traits together.
