He brushed Gohan aside because Gohan wouldn't have been able to keep up with the other fighters.
If not, then EVERYONE would have been brushed aside by Goku, not just Gohan. And if Gohan were stronger than Goku here, like at the Cell Games, Goku would have told Gohan specifically TO fight, just like at the Cell Games, because Gohan's "hidden power" would be their only hope.

You seem to be dismissing the fact that Piccolo, Trunks, and Vegeta are not his son(s), Gohan is. But what's confusing is why you would say that if he brushed Gohan off then everyone would be brushed off. Who would fight Broly? When Goku told Gohan to high-tail it he was the only one standing between Broly and his son. If Broly downed Goku, he could easily kill Gohan. Goku is a father, and he naturally loves his son. He tells him to leave before he confronts Broly again so that Gohan could have some time to get away and perhaps hide. Gohan has always had hidden power. Goku was just using it against Cell as a desperation tactic. Now, while it's true that if Broly were around the same level as Complete Cell, Goku would logically think of Gohan's hidden power to try and fight Broly with. BUT, it is kinda hard to try and get your son angry and full of hot-steeming emotions when all the Zet Senshi were being assaulted unrelentlessly by Broly. When would he have time to try and get Gohan to summon such rage? If it weren't for 16's crushed head and centimental speech, Gohan would never have transformed unless something very drastic happened that stirred his emotions. He also states that he has no apparent idea of how to use his rage for power.
Secondly, Gohan states to Cell that he has no desire to fight him, but in the face of Broly he stands defiant. The is an example of Toei not necessarily mixing the characters emotions into the movies.
