... I can't think of a single reason why they should shove the 'clean' and classic accomplishments of players that play in a genuine environment on to Blue, other than doing so for a majority of player preference....

I think you've just accidentally made the point that those of us who want to see the servers merge are saying: once the timeline is over, the Green characters become "non classic." So why not merge them with Blue, and thereby continue the feeling of cohesion across the Green and Blue servers?
Let's not lie: a huge part of the draw of EQ is the feeling of accomplishment you get when you acquire plat and items. I know I'm not alone when I say that a big draw of Green is the fuzzy thought of seeing those characters on Blue one day. Again, I say this as a CASUAL -- I have no intention of getting even one manastone on Green.
If Green wipes at the end of its timeline, or otherwise becomes archived as as "Green Season 1," then I suspect that after the novelty wears off, we'll see many players go back to Blue where all of their "work" has a more lasting sense of accomplishment and value -- and the players remaining on Green will be doing it for the museum ALS-esque experience or for the neckbeard server first races.
