Again, its not just the lives of the two, its the third as well, what reasoning can you give for changing someones life in a way that puts them at a disadvantage compared to a normal person born of a normal family? Is it not the point of progress to attempt to prevent things like this? Is the point of progress, science, and medicine not to minimize the chances of someone having an issue no matter how big or small? Why take the risk, and throw the progress we have made as a species out the window simply for an urge that can likely be satiated elsewhere in a more respectable manner?

You cannot guarantee that webbed toes or a seemingly equally unimportant issue will be the change, or even the only change. As you perform these actions, you increase the possibility of ruining someones life, and that is the issue. Even if it were just a 1% for a normal child to have a severe issue, by having a child created through incest you increase that chance. That is the scientific reason why it is immoral, this doesn't even begin to explain the societal or religious reasons that something like this is immoral.
put in child terms:
You cannot encourage bad behavior with more bad behavior.

In the end you asked for a reason why it is considered wrong, I have given my reasons, others can if they choose, but I will not go on further as this is simply an opinionated topic that likely neither will change. (At least I certainly will not)

But you aren't changing anyone's life. That third life wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for those two specific people having it. If I was right now to choose between being born with a birth defect vs not being born at all I'd take the birth defect. After all, the inbred person can later in life choose to commit suicide if they want to. I'd personally be okay with killing off the inbred children that literally have no agency and are braindead, but if they just have some birth defect that makes their life a bit harder I don't see why we should be worried about that when the alternative is them not being born at all.

Plus incest doesn't have to result in a child. Would you allow two brothers to have sex, or two sisters, or a brother and a sister using protection?
