I don't think it makes sense to most people, BUT...
...it's not OK to have an established Church without representation in the Parliament which makes its rules.
I have nothing against disestablishment. I do object to the idea it's OK to remove the Lords Spiritual without disestablishment.

Why couldn’t the CofE just have a single representative in the Lords?
A satanist couple turn up to a RC church in Redditch demanding to be married to make mockery. They are politely declined. They go to the CofE Church & similarly. They take CofE to court bc parliament has ruled CofE must marry anyone in England. They win. Fair? /1
I'm not convinced a Remembrancer is quite going to cut it.
It's undeniable that the population has no interest, but that's not really the point. The reality is the whole setup is legally premised upon Parliamentary oversight.
