Uninformed take. First of, we are working on killing off only a few, malaria carrying Mosquito species in certain regions. Whatever niche they leave will be filled by another, possibly native species of Mosquito.
2nd, nutrient transfer my butt, they carry like 1ml and that's mostly water. You definitely transfer more nutrients by having some ants in your compost bin.
Things add up. Total biomass of mosquitos is 5 million tons.
Also mosquitos are pollinators.
