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.

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.
