For a longer response, it's not just that the Senate prevented Obama from filling a spot (by not even giving a hearing!), it's that they did it based on a standard that they no longer want to follow. If Trump won in November and then filled the seat, I'd agree that there isn't reason to oppose the nomination.

It's all a moot point, though. The GOP has the votes and they will confirm Barrett. It doesn't matter what Democrats argue.

I've long argued that justices should only be opposed for being unqualified in a pretty strict sense. So I would normally argue that Barrett should be let in because she definitelly fits the definition of a qualified judge. But the Garland fiasco has completely changed my mind on that.
