If it's really accepted that, technically, a separate network is unnecessary, it seems like it would be a much better use of taxpayers' money to fund connections to the existing commercial networks rather than incurring the costs of building and operating a new network.

Maybe - but then how long would it be before headlines like "Taxpayer funded links used to stream high bandwidth porn" or "Taxpayer funded links used to pirate latest movie titles" Atleast if they have a different name for the network then it can be seperated from the great unwashed Internet. Maybe there is no real need for a seperate network apart from this.
