Why is it not reasonable from an ethical point of view? What is the ethical argument you are using here?

If you don't want to keep the original, I can only answer "yes, you should".
But that is a silly answer and shows that your argument is broken. If your ethical system do not allow for me to throw away a CD that I have made a digital copy of then it is broken.
