Are British boxers too protected these days.

Match making is a business proposal nothing more, nothing less. Until the risk/reward equation shows maximum returns, the best matches won't be made. This is not an exclusive phenomena that exists on the dreary isle of Great Britain, it happens everywhere a promoter has a say.

The only way around this is to have a single sanctioning body that ranks fighters and limits the rank differential between fighters to make a fight, or a single body that schedule all fights themselves.

Which is pure fantasy because it would be detrimental to the amount of money made by fighters, managers, promoters, TV companies, sponsors, etc

Shit titles and shit matches only harm hardcore fans.

I completely agree, which gets back to my first point of maximal returns. I like my fantasy it makes for better fights, but completely fails as a business plan.
