what you're describing by saying workers are replaceable is a result of a power imbalance
it has no bearing on the value of the work itself, which is inherently valuable proportional to the surplus

You're just ignoring my point. There will always be someone there to cut them. The second there isn't, they will automate.
The workers are less powerful precisely because they're more replaceable, not vice versa.
And the value of their work is once again based on the market and what people will pay for the product they produce.
