It seems more like you're trying to convince us that Instagram is the best while we are just stating our opinions on the topic.
Anyway, while I truly don't care for Instagram, what isn't in your favor in terms of your argument is the quality. Even in the case of Lomography cameras, 35mm (and ESPECIALLY 120mm) film trumps your 500x500px. So in this case it's beyond the look of the image but of the quality itself.
And what's going to happen when you show your portfolio to people or clients even? Do you plan on having jobs from showing your photos to others? Because unless you're targeting a very small amount of people who only want 500px images for their magazines or websites or other things, they want high quality photographs. You're likely better off either creating your own filter in Photoshop using Actions which makes everything easier, or just finding free Instagram-like filters for Photoshop.
Now if you're just posting to Flickr as your portfolio for the sake of posting things online to get comments and such, then good for you on using Instagram.
