Start off by reading the linked article. The feature is opt-in, and has to be manually turned on. It only triggers on child accounts where this is enabled. It is designed to protect children from being taken advantage of by stopping both incoming and outgoing nudity.

No idea how one-child sending nude pics to another child can be described as taking advantage of anyone. Who's the perpetrator here? And while the feature is opt-in, it's opt-in by parents, and has no granular, per-message overrides when the child knows what they're doing. While a general dickpic content warning is a good idea, there should be a "see anyway" button.

I'm sorry, I'm no happier about this feature than you seem to be, but...

> there should be a "see anyway" button

If you read the article and look at the pictures, "View photo..." is right underneath the blurred photo. It may not be called "see anyway", and it may not be a button per se, but it has the exact same effect.
