the only major difference I see between what you're calling 'clojure' and a lisp is that clojure compiles to JVM. That alone goes for a toss when you say you're porting it to BEAM. There is no more java in the equation. Its interop with erlang/elixir ecosystem. Which is exactly what lfe is (apart from some minute differences in syntax which may or may not be there).

I never said one is better than the other. All I said is, if you want lisp on BEAM, you already have lfe.
if you want lisp <insert condition>, you already have <insert lisp satisfying condition>.
your assumed condition is wrong, a person may not just want lisp on beam, they may want clojure on beam.

it's always better to ask than to make incorrect assumptions
