6. Censure is less "meaningless" than impeachment

In this situation.

The house very possibly could bring up articles of impeachment. But they don't have the votes in the Senate, and even further McConnell probably would not even let it come up.

So, he wouldn't be impeached and removed from office. And it would be spun as a failure on behalf of the Democrats by both the media, and the Republicans, as well as the public.

They can censure him in the house, without the Senate.

He's not going to get removed by impeachment, censure is their way of doing what they can control.
