Is Bengali your first language?
While one can make the case that ত্য is simply "'to' - 'o' + 'ya' = 'to'"[0][1], it's rather confusing mental acrobatics, and it doesn't reflect either how the writing system is taught, or how native speakers use it and think of it on a day-to-day basis.
If anything, your comment makes a stronger argument for consolidating ই and ি (they are literally the same letter and phoneme, but written differently in different contexts) than for combining the viram and য into the jophola.
[0] To non-Bengali speakers reading this, yes, this is how that construction would work, and yes, I am aware that the arithmetic doesn't appear to add up (which I guess is part of the point).
[1] Also, now that I think about it, the য is a consonant, not a vowel, so using it in place of a vowel is doubly awkward. This is particularly an issue in Bengali, where sounds that might be consonants in English (like "r" and "l") can be either consonants or vowels in Bengali, depending on the word.
