What the controller did was wrong. While he can certainly vector you all day long at or above MVA, when being vectored for an approach, the altitude must be compatible with the procedure. In thise case, you need to be at 3,300 ft on the intermediate segment and the controller does not have the authority to waive this requirement for you.
I would have something like: "Cessna 1234X requests 3,300 to comply with the procedure."
