Remember in the 2000's before gay marriage was legal a lot of people would suggest elimination of the word marriage and just call everything civil unions to appease religious objections?
That's what eliminating gendered bathrooms sounds like. Gay and straight people enjoy being married. Trans and cis people enjoy their gendered privacy that makes them feel safer. I believe you're intentions are good but removing a universal cultural norm isn't the solution. It's side stepping the issue of transphobia, exactly like whites only bathrooms sidesteped racism.
