Well, as far as I'm concerned, Unlike 90% of HS tuba playes, you own your own horn. Now, if the band director's willing to give you a grant or something to go and get a horn to his liking and not neccesarilly to yours, then fine. It's an authoratative buncha bull
$#!+.He hasn't heard the horn, and on top of that, how many BIG tuba GODs use BBb tubas as their main horns?? Besides, if YOU are more comfortable on a CC, then by limiting your chances to use it, he is limiting your potential for growth. He is also slowing down whatever transitioning you have left to make. If I were you, I would honestly tell him to shove it.
Best of luck,
