I understand the logic, but I think there could be some workarounds that make this doable. If you can put a “last updated “ on profile people can judge for themselves whether the information is rusty.* I would worry a bit that not doing this makes people think “why should I fill in my information on this next thing when I’m just gonna have to do so again when they switch it up next time?
*by the way voice recognition replaced “trustworthy“ with “rusty“ but actually it works as well. :-)
As communicated here and to users via email, all data will be deleted after the website goes down, so this is not an option.
However, regarding your use case (finding lawyers/accountants), I have tried using— free text search on the profiles directory: seems not to work so well and something that could be improved. - the role filter feature. That seems like it might be useful to you!

You’re of course right, there would be some advantages to doing it. It comes down to whether it’s worth the time, and we concluded it is probably not.
That’s fair. But maybe hold onto the previous database if possible, in case the signup for this one is low and it needs a kickstart?

Eg I was looking for EA/earning to give lawyers and accountants to hire and had trouble finding them
Dunno if it’s still helpful, but https://www.highimpactprofessionals.org/talent-directory is a directory of EAs looking for work and contained several each of lawyers and accountants on a quick search.
Did you find them? Perhaps they should be added to the periodic EA Advertisements post?
Helpful but to disambiguat, that is a directory of professionals who want to do impactful work.
I am also looking to favour “earning to give” professionals willing to do non-impactful work.
Ala my “corporate bake sale” post and @Brad West Introducing the Profit for Good Blog: Transforming Business for Charity
I was referring to this post, which I think includes services for those who are earning to give?
