The Senate keeps the balance between small and large states by making them all equal. If you were to abolish the Senate then states like California would be able to boss around a state like Delaware or Rhode Island.

And at the time the 17th ammendment was ratified, the state legislators were often corruptted by the owners of the railroad.
