On biological disadvantages of incest, see link:Inbreeding, Incest, and the Incest Taboo: The State of Knowledge at the Turn ... - Arthur P. Wolf - Google BooksWhat biological/genetic complications? Who will get indulged into incest for reproduction purposes? Besides incest wont be restricted between two opposite sexes, for the sole purpose or intentions is 'pleasure'. Secondly, the gist of your argument 'what harm if done with consent' applies as much to pedophilia and incest. What harm if I sleep with my mother or under-age daughter so long we are mutually agreed? What tangible harm such a relationship will cause to the society? Though one would like to define what exactly is 'tangible'.
Though I will argue that if procreation and the chance of biological defects can be minimized to the level of non incestuous relationships, go for it!
On sexual relationships with children, I can't believe you actually need me to explain it to you. Most children cannot make a rational objective decision about engaging in sexual intercourse, especially when an adult (relative or not) is manipulating them into it. Laws against Pedophilia are designed to prevent such sexual exploitation and the physical and mental damge that they cause and correctly classify sexual relationships between a child and an adult as rape.
