Precisely why I've never understood the people who list it as a stupid plan. It always seemed to me like something that had to be accomplished for Germany to win the war. The preconditions couldn't be established (at least in part due to poor execution, true), so it wasn't carried out. Simple.
A quick look at the Kerch map (all I've had time for), on the other hand, reminds me of Gallipoli, which does make the top ten on my "Dumb-Ass list."
Gallipoli and Dieppe involved the landing forces being heavily blooded (proportionally) and then withdrawing
Kerch involved the beachead actually being destroyed by enemy forces with all landing elements captured or killed
