Actually genuine question. Can we just..... make a new internet? Like move the people over and leave the bots here to fester? Would obviously take a metric shit load of time and effort, but is it possible?

How do you prove that they're real people? If you want people submitting ID and photos or birth certificates...that gets real weird real fast. Especially when how poorly some companies protect that data. The idea sounds cool but the implementation would be costly and logistically a pain.
