I can see where you guys are coming from, but remember they said it was an expansion to the original KBAP campaign - and then they clarified that this meant new units, a couple new quests, and some new spells.
If you could somehow skip to just the new quests, I doubt you'd have more than a few hours of gameplay there - especially at your high level given the save game transfer. So you'd transfer, play a few hours, tinker with some new stuff (assuming they plopped it all in front of you with a few vendors) and then get bored (and some people would complain it didn't add enough, probably).
IMO the gameplay from this expansion comes from the fact that all these new elements are interwoven in the new campaign, giving it a fresh experience (but not "new") and increasing the replay value.
As for me, I started with the champion mode (and was surprised how fast I beat it on normal) and then blew through the boss arena. Those were fun, but my real fun didn't start until I restarted KBAP with the new Orcs mod on it and I have to say it's great fun. I remember the original well enough to be delighted by all the little tweaks every time I run into them.
