Bro SBG,
Matt 26:28 says the blood is the blood of the new covenant. Heb 9:16 says that in order for the new covenant to be in effect that there had to be the death of Christ the testator. If Christ had cut his finger, that would NOT have secured the new covenant. There was a PARTICULAR way/circumstance in which the blood had to be applied. The blood sacrifice accomplishes that according to the will of HIM who makes the blood holy. AustinC has already pointed out the particular way in which the blood of the lamb of the passover had to be applied. Because your willingly cast his blood out into the world, rather in the prescribed manner for his people you defile the sacrifice.
I have not seen anyone denying the holiness of the blood of Christ. What is being denied is how you say MacArthur applies the blood.
