I've been thinking about it, and I think it's a lot a matter of definition of "transference". I define it rather more loosely than you do, I think. More as anything in one's perceptions or reactions beyond what is called for in the reality of the situation or the person. The part that comes from our layering of reality.
I just think it's useful to learn to strip that layering, and see what's really there. Or at least as close to it as possible.
It doesn't need any Freudian concepts beyond the recognition that sometimes we layer reality with our own stuff.
