hashkafah philosophy - Is belief in Midrashim optional?


The Ramban in Sefer Havikuach (page 32, the bottom of the first column ) asserts with regard to Midrash:



מי שיאמין בו טוב. ומי שלא יאמין בו לא יזיק ‏


Whoever believes in it, good, he who does not believe it, will not be harmed.




Are Midrashim really optional?


Note: This isn't a duplicate of this question, because that one is whether the midrash must be taken as literally true, while this one asks whether it must be accepted as true at all, literally or not.
