While we're at it, let's modernise the Sistine Chapel and bring it up to date with the world of digital art. Masterpieces do not need modernising.
You're agruing that a remake is not necessary but a remaster is fine. In an analogy similar to your own that's like saying you can't modernize the Mona Lisa, but it's fine if you put a new coat of paint over it.
A new coat of paint would be updating the graphics, which is the opposite the person you're replying to meant.
A better analogy to what they've done with Quake is it's like updating the Mona Lisa's display case to modern standards and improve the museum's lighting, so more people can enjoy it.
