As for myself.....I think they should keep it because it would give an unfair advantage to those jockeys who you just know have far superior upper body strength in a finish.

Another one of those arguments that I dont get tbh. Jockeys are all different so having one less or more difference between jockeys isn't an argument either way. Keeping the whip just adds another difference to worry about when gambling.
Unless ive missed anything the pro-whip arguments are..
Reduces risk of horse injuring self or other
Makes race fairer
Looks more entertaining
No good reason to change
Fine if you believe any or all of them but in a month or so when the jocks are still throwing their toys around the BHA is going to suggest total whip ban as a solution (imo) and the jocks will have to start articulating these arguments or its gone for good.
