Every year, pilots get hurt by disregarding DA effects on their flying.
And you want to do away with at least trying to educate them on it?


Not at all. Density altitude is extremely dangerous, and must always be
considered, especially in underpowered aircraft, or at high altitude
airports.

Which has NOTHING to do with the Feds asking absurd questions about
"pressure" versus "density" altitude in the written exam. These questions
could be easily replaced entirely with questions that were actually relevant
to the problem.
