I agree about the rest (I think Albuquerque still showed way too much of Victoria), but I don't see how it spoils the detective's identity. There's no reason to think that guy there isn't Albuquerque's interpretation of Holmes, a character audiences are used to seeing played by actors as different as Robert Downer Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch.
There's still a range for how Holmes looks. Tall. Slender. Dark hair. Only Jonny Lee Miller brakes the Sherlock mold in recent memory, and that's along with deliberate changes to Watson and other canon characters.
When I see a detective with blonde muttonchops, my immediate reaction is that he's not Holmes. And indeed, Albuquerque's real Holmes has dark hair and a pointy chin.

I think it would be if you also see him living at Baker Street, acting as a consultant for Lestrade, and re-enacting the famous Afghanistan scene with an injured vet.
