Bungie did what they did for a reason. As much as I do miss some of the old weapons, it's more the memories I miss, not being able to use the gun.
The reason Bungie seems to be almost starting over with weapons and armor is that, well, they really are starting over. The new gameplay style they have implemented caters to the newer gear. In time, new versions of are prwvious exotics will be implemented. Hell, we already have many new versions of legendaries and exotics. They want to completely change the game, and the sooner you accept the change, the sooner you can truly enjoy Year 2. Trust me, this is true.

No, its really not true. =P There is no good reason for them to do this. Its a simple fact. Year 2 blows for a number of reasons. This subject regarding Infusion is just the cause for myself and others to no longer grind or put any sort of investment into the game.

I agree there's no reason to keep old weapons behind. At least old exotics and raid gear. The old vendor stuff I don't mind deleting. To me it makes no sense to release a weapon tuning to nerf some of the weapons but then turn around and say well they're going to just stay where they're at. Why nerf them then? If any weapon is going to be useless I'd rather not see it in a loot drop or legacy engram from xur. People say they'd be the only weapons we'd use and we won't try the new stuff. I think that's wrong. I'd still be trying to get the sleeper simulant if I had a 280 gally. I haven't even had the gjallarhorn that long and I didn't even rely on it all the time. I used the hunger of Crota more than the gjallarhorn and before that it was either a hezens vengeance or one way ticket. I got my first gjallarhorn right before the house of wolves. I didn't beat skolas until after the taken king lol and I didn't use my gjallarhorn. I never used it as a crutch but it was nice to have options.
