How is this any different than an argument against the frontpage? What if everybody only read the front page?
Addendum: (It seems tonight is be difficult night on HN. I really did not expect any responses to the rhetorical question above.)
As it is I rarely read more than the first page of new stories. With a filter like this I would help curate the new stories and would contribute more to the curating process than I currently do.

But what if everybody did that? How would any story get more than 1 vote? Somebody has to dig through the garbage to get the good stuff right?

Then new links would start appearing on the front page once the current content got sufficiently old.
(To clarify: I am merely answering your question, not expressing an opinion.)
I suspect going through a page of 1-point stories is a more valuable contribution than going through several pages of 2+-point stories.
