I'm not speaking for a desire for a brand new server at all. Pre-Green, we had one PvE server for years which while it was very top heavy there were constantly people leveling alts, very frequently you could find lower level groups if you went to the more popular leveling zones, etc. You don't need a fresh server for that.
Multiple high end raiding guilds existed on Blue back then as well and you're forgetting the fact that a large number of the Green raiders are also high end raiders on Blue. You're not creating some massive influx of raiding players by merging. They're already raiding on both as it is, so likely guilds would just merge.

So by merging 2 servers that both admittedly have little to no leveling population where do you expect this population is going to magically appear from? To your point its a finite player base, to your point many people have high end characters on both servers so merging would just give people more access to more high end characters (including multiplying the bot army's that the top guilds have built). There is no incentive for people to start new characters, not twink them out, and engage in low end gameplay.
The only way I see to create such an incentive is a world where the top end characters don't exist, I.E. a new server.
