I would think -- as ruthlessly objectively as possible -- if any modicum of support you could obtain from the T would help make a material difference to your emotional life right now. If not, then the answer is clear. If yes, then perhaps continuing for the time being -- while being excruciatingly explicit about the hurt / pain you're experiencing by his behavior -- might be the way to go while also working towards the December date and obtaining referrals during the interim (and potentially checking out the referrals while continuing to see him)?
I guess I've always conceptualized diagnosis in a way where it helps to makes sense of all of the internal strife. But you're right. There's really no need to cling to a diagnosis, save if I were to start exploring starting to take psychotropic medications again. I'm considering it.

Thank you for asking about support from T. I honestly don't think there's anything to gain there. I said to him today how hurt I was a couple of weeks ago when I felt that he wanted to be rid of me, and his response was to express his frustrations in my treatment. Anything that he says now...I probably wouldn't believe him.
