I don't believe anyone's advocating the removal of existing entities.
In your viaduct case above, keep the viaduct entity, remove the
railway=abandoned tag, use the historical tag to describe the past of
the viaduct (which exists) but don't use it to describe the railway
(which doesn't).
Note that it is not necessary to use "historical tag" for existing
viaduct. man_made=bridge seems to fit well.

The historical tag can be used to indicate that the viaduct was previously used as a railway. It should be used in conjunction with other tags such as man_made.

slightly OT
man_made=bridge only appears to render when it is an enclosed way, but not a linear one.
