In effect your proposal creates more SP sinks than removes them. If a skill has a bonus behind it, then it will be utilized.
The main problem in your proposal is that currently the non-racial dropsuit skills provide no benefit after level 3. If they had a bonus associated with them, it would be important to increase those to level 5, therefore creating another SP sink; not removing one.
Removing SP sinks would mean removing skills or lowering the amount of SP required to unlock things. Something like, being able to use prototype weapons even at the lower end of the tree. So once you unlock the skills to get assault rifle for example, you can use all the assault rifles.

You could instead say that this removes the filler skills, where you only put into them to get to a further point in the tree. If they had passive bonuses, you would skill into them for the sake of skilling into them, instead of just putting the mandatory minimum required SP then moving on.
Correct, but you are creating more places for SP to go. Therefore creating sinks. I don't think you understand the definition of an sp sink. I don't mind having skills mean something when skilled. But you are still making the hurdle larger for low sp players.
Not only that but CCP would never give us "free" bonuses. Instead to get your racial frame to current standard you would probably need to skill both racial and non racial dropsuit command skills to five. Therefore creating a larger sp sink for the same effect.
Reducing multipliers, cost of skills, or allowing items to be used earlier would ease the burden of sp. To reduce the sink means to slow the flow. Creating more skills bonuses just increases that hole.
Ex: CCP decides to create more items on the market that are officer variety. Would this increase or decrease the amount of isk in circulation.........decrease correct! Adding things to sink sp into, increases the sink in the same way. Even if those sp are providing a bonus.
