Agreed - I've worked with one rewrite from scratch and it convinced me that rewriting from scratch is never a good idea. Incidentally, I can see why the company decided on a rewrite from scratch (no separation of MVC logic, no framework, almost no tests, only ran on special environments, production had an extra set of patches that for some reason would never get merged back to master) - honestly, it really was too far gone.
