I don't see anybody demanding that.

Or that either. ("Major" meaning more emphasis on that subject than any other.)
>3. Don't want to devalue my current license that I earned.
The only thing that "devalues (your) current license" is a reduction in the
operating privileges available to you, such as happened to the General and
Conditional licenses in the late 1960s.
>4. The tests needs to be entrance exams not final exams.
Entrance, yes. Sham, no.
>5. CW is the basic non-voice mode and proficiency should be demonstrated.
Why? Code knowledge is not needed for any other mode. The TWO basic modes
below 29 MHz are CW and SSB, but it's not credible to say that either is the
SINGLE dominant mode.
