Health: That is an entirely valid Shittah. However, as I mentioned above, it is seemingly a Machlokes between the Nodah Bihudah and the Sefer Abudraham as to whether or not Lashon Hakodesh can change based on how people speak (and based on whether Davening is inherently Lashon Hakodesh etc.). You perfectly explained the Shittah that Halachic Lashon Hakodesh predates the world and has complete mystical meanings etc. However, there is an opposing Shittah that Lashon Hakodesh can change like any other language and that the Ikkar importance of Lashon Hakodesh is that it’s the language the Torah was given in and that K’lal Yisrael speaks. So according to this Shittah, I can hear the claim that modern Hebrew has the Halachic status of Lashon Hakodesh.
