>>instead of losing only 500 tdps from the first version, I'll be losing 5050 tdps from this version.

Your math is wrong. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong but you actually stand to gain a substantial number of TDPs.

>>Yet we are getting just as many primary skills for the 1st tier tdp skills as we are tert skills.

I recommend noting that you gain primary skills far faster than tert skills, which automatically makes your primary skillset a much better source of TDPs. If for you it's not, you're doing something substantially incorrect.

>>Also, can someone please explain to me what is wrong with keeping the way we earn TDPs the same as it is now, and just doing the mergers?

Because you would lose many thousands of TDPs because you have fewer skills (and thus cumulative ranks) than you did before.

>>still is no drive to train other skills. We're going to work just as hard to train something at 1/3rd the reward?

I mean, it's exactly half the rate that those skills used to teach. I'm not sure where you got 1/3. You're gaining half the reward for your lowest 44 skills (ish) and 35% more in your highest 9 skills (ish). And since you come out ahead in the formula, you actually are gaining TDPs faster than you were previously.
