So let Trudeau lose this election, then get a new leader. Having new leader take the fall, à la Kim Campbell would just delay the rebuilding of the party that needs to happen after the next election.

In a way I think it's similar to why Polievre did not go for the Conservative Leadership against O'Toole. The party who won the 2021 election was likely to look bad come the next one given all the global issues that were going to come home to roost.
You put in someone now and it's pretty much political suicide for that person. Trudeau is finished after this election and his party should let him take the fall. But with a few MP's thinking a new leader might save "insert all the pronouns here" job. There will be some desperate calls for change. Two terms served = golden pension.
