Immortality without privacy, without even the few cubic centimeters in your skull that your anatomy grants you - that's not noble.
EDIT: Also, what about that line he gives to the Prophet of Truth: "You will be food! Nothing more,".
The Gravemind is certainly an intelligent entity, he has the combined experiences and memories of every morsel he's devoured, and he uses his extreme intelligence to his advantage. He is playing with his food, trying to convince them to join him. If you were an extra-galactic parasite, would you want to fight against an entire species to assimilate them, risking the failure to propagate your collective self or would you attempt to have a member or members of that food-species betray their brothers and sisters? Being assimilated into a greater being as food, then being a portion of that overwhelming collective would be one of the greatest tortures you could visit on a sentient being. You wouldn't even be a "being", your body would be wrenched from you, your privacy and thoughts would no longer be yours. You would be food. Nothing more.
