Why don't all states kick them out then or just recombine into a fair new UN, seems necessary.

Because the real power of the US isn't the ICC exemption or the UN SC veto, but their six thousand nukes and the biggest navy in the world.

And the fact that the US dollar is the basis for most economies.

In fact, a new UN wouldn't even be necessary, instead everyone would just have to stop recognizing the veto powers of any country. But, again, that comes with other consequence.
