Nobody forced you to skip, in fact, from your story, you did NOT skip the cut scene..
Sure the tank was an asshole for not waiting the 30 seconds for a boss introductory cut scene, but if you want to experience the fight, you could always just run it once more, you probably will run it again in the near future anyway for other reasons..
