That passing it on to a third party while retaining a copy yourself is not part of the "deal" under which you bought the CD. You bought the right to listen to it yourself, not to carry on listening to it after you've passed on the original to someone else.

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.

I didn't say that you couldn't thow it away - of course you can. However, if I were to throw it away, I'd break it in two first to ensure that it couldn't be used by anyone else.
