I'll admit paring Oliver with a redeemed Earth-2 Laurel would be awesome and would make up for a lot that's not why Felicity should die. Olicity itself just doesn't work and it's done nothing but alienate a character that everybody used to love and it's too late to fix her because the damage is done. Personally if they're not gonna do things right they should just have Oliver be with nobody. However yes I do think they should stop killing Arrow family members so if Felicity dies she should be the last one no question because it is getting tiring of watch the Arrow cast die each year but she is the one cast member I and most people could easily do without.

Going back to Oliver and E2-Laurel yea she's a different person, Oliver has said as much, but it'd be impossible for him to not have some affection for her since she does have the same face. Also Oliver did kinda screw things up with Laurel and she fell in love with Tommy, and for all we know something similiar may of happened with E2-Laurel and E2-Oliver fell in love with E2-Sara instead. It's not like they wouldn't adress the issues if something did spark between them and they probably would try to avoid each other but eventually realize they are different people, but being together could be how both recover from their losses.

Something similiar to this happens in Injustice where Green Arrow is murdered by an evil Superman and Black Canary is later transported to an alternate Earth by Doctor Fate as Superman tries to kill her as well. There she meets that world's Green Arrow who also lost his Black Canary sometime before and while both are warry around each other at first, they later fall in love and even marry. But of course that doesn't mean either one forgot about each other's doppelgangers but being together helped them recover from their losses. If Black Canary encounters Superman again she'll probably try to kill him to avenge her Green Arrow without hesitation.
