With the silos (assuming they still exist) and the boomers we have why is this necessary?

I always liked the Nuclear Triad.
Don’t know how long it takes to re-target the subs and the silos. But it must take some amount of time for chain of command, if nothing else.
The GPS coordinates of targets can be uploaded to bombers via secure channels via satellite comms.

FYI 400 Minuteman IIIs are still very capably deployed.
The primary argument for a manned bomber in the Triad is they can be recalled.
Once an ICBM or SLBM goes, there is no turning back, no recall and no "self destruct". No sh!t.

Because "this" can be much quicker.

Multiple layers of fail safe actions guarantee at a minimum one system will survive to retaliate.
