The point you're missing is that it's possible to write Kirk Spock without trashing Canon. The only 'canon' you're referring to here being that Kirk is obviously at least straight. However he never volunteers information on his attraction to men, not unusually for a 1960s show. Of course the inference is that he’s straight but nothing directly contradicts a bi interpretation.

As for Spock, in the Ponn Far episode he has a scene where he cannot deal with Kirk's physical closeness. Again, open to interpretation, but one of those reasonable interpretations is that he was experiencing sexual feelings for Kirk.

Again, the only 'barrier' to either of those being valid interpretations of canon is the homophobia of the time - which you seem to consider valid at least. The same is true for many, many older pairings.

Taking a character and copy pasting everything and anything on, shaving off bits of canon you don't like to make it more palatable is different and newer.

It’s absolutely not newer though.
