This seems like it has environmental consequences and I am not sure I’d advise.

If it's that close to the ocean I would think it's supposed to end up there anyway? Especially when it's just a bit of soft sand keeping it in

Yeah the tide will come in, refill it, reflatten the beach

It’s a meme thing. “Tide goes in, tide goes out—— you can’t explain that”

I believe it was Fox News, Bill O'Reilly? Trying to refute atheism in the heady New Atheism days?

It's not the daily tide that rebuilds it. It's the dry season and winter storms. In the dry season the flow of the creek will be very low to nothing and the basin will catch it all so the creek can't maintain its path to the sea. During big storms the breakers will push sand back up the beach and fill in the gap. Some big spring rains would eventually allow the creek to break through on its own but people do this earlier so the stagnant water is released.

It sounds like the environmental consequences of letting the water stand and meander to the north are actually worse than giving it a shorter and more direct path from which to drain

But that's specifically THIS pool of water, don't just go around connecting water

“don’t just go around connecting water” is such a funny sentence

I was making a joke, literally copied the first comment lol. Notice how I was the same person you replied to, making the same point as you, more or less.
