But the convenience of crew changes at Mimico! Won't anyone think of the crews?!Even assuming they can't add stations this close, it doesn't mean they can move stations - the current Mimico station is a dump anyways, and the intensification around the area is for practical reasons nil. It's a no-brainer. And to have TTC wanting Metrolinx to capture their riders and the latter not wanting it tells you just how serious GO is about servicing the city residents even at full price.

Actually Byford mentioned a few of their infill stops in Sydney were closer than PL/Mimico and they managed it by running different levels of service. For example, Mimico would be a limited station stop, maybe every 2-3 trains would stop, while PL would be a full service stop with all local trains stopping... It's as simple as something that can be run on a spreadsheet, but nope, too difficult for the frail minds at Metrolinx.
EDIT: Just to add, you brought up the food terminal. Understood it's a critical piece of infrastructure, bla bla bla, but I see its days as very limited. By the early 2020s we should hear about them relocating to Milton (or somewhere else with space). That land redeveloped is worth a lot of money... Everyone said Mr. Christie's will never leave, and well they did, 5 years ago now.
