The only thing he did was calling you "entitled" after you low-level trolled him (both was fine). For the rest you apparently do not differentiate between your argument being criticized or you personally being criticized.
There is more to it than just being afk for a minute. There should be a way of seeing some bad spirit in the afk. The fact though that he returned later is a decent sign that there was something urgent to take care of.
CoH2 is not CSGO, and one round (not a match) of CSGO lasts a couple of minutes afaik. Being afk for 2 min is way more impactful. But I don't want to argue about CSGO. We have to accept the fact that CoH2 is now a couple of years old and does not have the player base that it is worth keeping up a huge amount of support and feedback mechanisms for. Of course there will be wrong decisions by the people handing out bans. But there is a high chance your game was reviewed and it was not deemed worthy of a ban.
But judging from what you wrote, you're pissed off about him building Calliopes and being hard countered by his opponent without your team mate properly responding to this. This guy might just be a bad player, that's not bannable.
Next match you end up with Helping Hans and similars and suddenly you are the weak link in the game. Now add some slight bad luck and the postman delivers a package to your door that very moment, you're afk for a min and bam there's your ban. Is this really what you want to argue for?
This is dragging on for far too long with people pre consumed of the notion that AFK should not be punished, well looks like we will be digging our own grave this time.
In regards to CSGO 1 player being AFK is not much impactful 4v5 can be done, I have done it quite some time. Going afk even for a minute will hurt badly in coh2 since you will lose vet units which can't be recovered. I agree COH 2 is many years old, almost dead if not for 2-3k players and community, might never see the irritation of players dropping and going AFK being fixed but again I did share the replay, an essay on what happened and the players details which took about 30 mins approx. if it was not deemed worthy they could have responded the same? I am atleast entitled to a response from them whether the offense was bannable or not or the aftermath of their judgement.
Judging from what you wrote about what you understood from my brief clause about the incident, you believe that I want to report the guy for being a noob? We were on talking terms since the start of the match and I was fairly playing better against my side opponent that I was even able to help my teammate with his. I told him not to make more than 1 calliope but a tank, plant mines, etc. he didn't do shit. In came the panther rush which we both knew would happened since I had counted 3 panthers on his side already and I had warned him too but he still had 3 calliope with none of them vet afaik. All 3 of his calliopes died, he retreated all of his units to base and went afk while I was struggling 2v1 but I had good vets on my jacckson and infantry to handle the 2v1 for some time while he was in the base afk. I lost both my tanks to panther flank retreated my units to the base had some ranting on the global chat tried surrendering multiple times gave up hope sat at my screen full of anger for 2 minutes and boom another calliope! Still no confirmation from his side if there was any emergency and I don't remember the rest!
