Middlemen are not a problem. As you point out, they aggregate information and improve markets by removing friction.
The problem are oligarchic, greedy, evil and imposed-through-violence middlemen.
We must build systems that allow removing middlemen so that we can send these type to hell.
Honest and value adding middlemen will continue to exist and to make markets better.
