Blending the parks together would neither help nor hurt either park.
A few more people might drop by DCA to go on Soarin', Screamin', TOT and catch the Aladdin show. That should take them an hour or so, then they'd come back to Disneyland and still spend the rest of their day there. DCA isn't empty due to people not wanting to cross the Esplanade to get there. They simply don't want to go.
I actually visit DCA every time I go to Disneyland. I like Tough to be a Bug and Muppets. I wish the Animation exhibit had more stuff but I always stop by. And the Electrical Parade is more than enough reason to go anywhere. DCA isn't awful, it's just poorly conceived and could have been so much more.
If the rumored enhancements to DCA are substantial enough to truly improve the park, if they bring some of the inspiration and imagination to DCA that it's been lacking, or if they retheme DCA the way the park's critics have been suggesting, they actually could charge a separate admission and people might actually pay it.
