Isn't most creative work synthesis rather than unique whole-cloth creation? Look at what happens with software when it is open sourced and allowed to be remixed freely. Are we better or worse off because of it?

There's nothing that prevents people from remixing things that are not copyrighted and create something amazing that others are interested in or of cultural value.
With open source, I should note, its remixing is in fact governed by copyright.
