So, the real question is, why would a mechanic that should know better make that type

How does a mechanic make this kind of statement that you should sell it, if it is no good for you, it is no good for the next owner? Right?

Wrong. You're looking at this on a very superficial level. It may be "no good" for your purposes, but buyers can have very different needs.
You assume that the new buyer is going to use it as a daily driver, work truck, etc. Who's to say that an individual isn't looking to score a good farm truck for $3,500? Then when the frame finally renders the truck unuseable, he'll pull the motor and other parts for his next beater.
That's just one example, and there could be many more. As long as the rust is disclosed, there are zero ethical issues.
