That is great! Thankfully you don’t seem to be in a position of having to choose between studying what you love, and graduating without debt. It’s not like this is a whim; you have a demonstrated commitment to a field of interest, and not all schools offer it in the depth you are looking for. There are great options at varying levels of admissions competitiveness, that your parents are comfortable paying for. You’re fortunate both to have that level of support, and to have clarity about your passions. My opinion is that filtering for your desired major is completely appropriate, even if not everyone sees the value of that pursuit or understands what the career opportunities in that field would look like.
