So you're saying we skip the habitation part and just get straight to coring the planet out right. Speed running planetary destruction, basically. I like it. Second play-thru, go!

Hell, why stop there? Earth's pretty inefficient, let's strip it for parts and make some few trillion generation ships. Start now, we'll be there practically overnight!

Counterpoint, earth actually has a biosphere

Counter-counterpoint, it's still inefficient.

Mars isn’t habitable. Making it habitable would be an inefficient use of time and energy because planets are inefficient already for a species that can make spin gravity. Bioforming humans to be able to live on Mars is risky because humans are fractious enough with us all being the same species. Therefore dismantling Mars to produce habitats which are suitable for humans is the most logical option.
