I don't believe were losing our culture because cartoons are still being made using non anime styles, it's just a matter of companies preferences and styles. Plus don't forget, other countries import our stuff and styles and etc to their programming to.
We import more stuff from other countries in terms of programming (movies, TV shows etc) then probably anyone else, so it's no surprise that someone would mimic a style if it became hot. Personally, I love anime and I don't see anything really wrong with using an anime style in terms of appearance.
Depth is another issue. Totally Spies and Martin Mystery are shallow shows, but I find them good to watch if there's nothing else on. But like I said, a show is as good as it's depth, not it's appearance. If the show has good story, humor, characters, the animation style won't bother me in the least bit.
