Now, I like this idea as a line of inquiry.
Despite the Django Template Language being explicitly designed to _not_
use HTML syntax [like so many before it did] so as (a) not create
torturous syntaxs, and (b) not restrict it to just HTML...
I think for the case of knowingly generating HTML, using lxml opens the
door to:
1. ensuring valid markup
2. faster processing [maybe?]
3. minifying on the fly -- readable templates, minimal output.

I was trying to explain the exact pros you have stated above and those
were the main reason behind how I come up with this idea.
Can you guide me how I should move forward with my idea in order to
increase my chances of getting selected in spite of that fact that it's
rejected by the members of Django core team?
Well, you should probably look at past examples of such things, like TAL
for the server side, and ... just about every JS framework of today
(svelte, Vue, Knockout, etc :)
lxml should make it easy to parse, iterate, walk, mutate the DOM tree...
now you need to determine a syntax.
