All of your points are true, but I feel like the whole point of The White Album is to be this kind of eclectic clusterfuck, so removing Revolution 9 is detrimental to the album's objective.

This. I love the White Album precisely because of the roller coaster of styles you get with it, of how the Beatles decided "Screw it, throw it on anyways." I enjoy trying to pick out all the little bits and pieces John has mashed into Revolution 9. My favorite particular moment is "Take this brother, may it serve you well" with the song kicking into the intro of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. The tape loops are haunting too.

Wild Honey Pie can go die, though. Why Don't We Do It in the Road is pretty pointless imo too.

I love that album due to the guff, though. All of it. The guff is more than just there, it's ... IDK, it's planned, it fits the mood. It reminds me of my feelings for Mellon Collie, frankly - there's a lot of music there, not all of it is equal, but all of it is there for a reason, it feels, even if the reason was "Eh, let's throw it on there to screw with someone" or "we need some more chaos".

Yeah, I can go along with that. When I have the vinyl on, I'll listen through every song, Wild Honey Pie included and being glad it's brief, since the atmosphere of the album is due to being such a fragmentary mess. Having such a wide range of styles and quality means to me the White Album feels like being in the studio with the Beatles hearing them try out this sound or that tune, an insight you don't get on a more polished album.

The climax of the song "Caramel". the first 3 minutes of it is eerily-brilliant and gives off a dark-side-of-the-moon-vibe, but when the climax of the songs hits it just goes awry with the band trying to give off a half-assed space-rock vibe and Damon Albarn with his terrible attempt at falsetto

seriously, what the eff?!!

Fitter Happier bugged me at first too but I don't think I could get rid of it in good consciousness. It continues the the theme of fabricated worries from Karma Police and it adds to the emotional spectrum of the album.
