Ideally they'd just take a bunch of existing cars and throw them together under a BoP-formula.

Even with BoP you still need some sort of framework or target performance to work from. Take the following 3 examples:
750MC Hot Hatch - Saxos, Fiestas and the like
UK VW Cup - Polos, Golfs and Sciroccos
EuroV8/Superstars - Merc C-class, BMW 5-series, Audi RS5, etc
Three very different series for very different types of car but with one thing in common, all use some form of adjustments to balance the relative performance of the grid. They don't all use the term 'BoP' but essentially that's what it is. that works fine within each series but no amount of BoP is ever going to balance a 1.6 Fiesta with a 5-litre AMG Mercedes.
I hope this doesn't turn into another thread full of start endless speculating on what would be the ideal global formula, consider this. If this truly is a ‘Touring Car Pyramid’ with TC1 > TC2 > TC3, then this new formula will sit below the current TC2/S2000 in terms of performance, in which case isn't that already Super1600.
