Why? If I've forked out a grand on a holiday whats 50 quid for a taxi to make
sure I actually make it to the airport?

How you choose to travel is unimportant. You pays your money, etc.

But your initial rant was that HEx fares are extortionate, which in
context they are not.

For a train fare they are given the distance. Why suffer the hassle of rail
transport for not far off the price of a taxi?

Why suffer the hassle of road travel when the train is cheaper?
