This is a bit of a loaded statement. It ignores half of the argument.

The question is: Is a stable aircraft more or less maneuverable than an unstable one. Of course you can have a maneuverable stable aircraft but, are unstable aircraft more maneuverable than that?

The other big question is how detrimental to the Spitfires performance was the instability?
