When you do something right for the wrong reason, doesn't necessarily make you right.

Can we get back to disagreeing about how long a system we all now agree should be in place should be in place for?

If we were all just disagreeing on the length of the system, then sure. Problem is that extending copyright for eternity, even if it only applies selectively to some works, is not a simple lengthening, but a fundamental change. Same as shortening the copyright length to zero for all. The latter tries to get away with time limited monopoly of distribution, the former tries to remove the public domain aspect.

Because really arguing over the argument of why it should exist with that it should exist is just a little too Kafkaesque for my taste

It should continue to exist, because without it the reason for it to exist in the first place would go away.
