Yes, don't be stupid.
If you're sending out unsolicited manuscripts, in some cases you've already forfeited important rights anyway. It's also trivial to break your objection as well - the package or email has "by opening this package/email attachment you agree not to republish or otherwise use this manuscript for anything but evaluation without a further agreement from me" on it. Bong, contract law deals with your objection.
Again, there are uses for copyright, but you are focusing on something which could be handled entirely adequately by contract law. Indeed, in many businesses, it IS handled by contract law... (Non-disclosure agreements!)
