are we destined to discard too much of what is integral to the Buddha's teaching in order to make it fit in with today's climate of thought ?

Yes, I think this is likely if the forgotten context of the orthodox surface/shell isn't rediscovered and understood. Discarding the orthodox surface/shell because we're clueless to its context and structural/functional purpose is as useless and deluding as forming entrenched belief in the orthodox surface/shell.
