That would explain mind as dependent on matter (and I agree on that) but that would not say anything about Consciousness. Are you an automaton? If not, why Qualia? Why Consciousness exists?

And yet I know that I can experience red and sounds, etc. in ways that are beyond just receptors and neurotransmitters. Does that happen to you too? Why? Why Qualia?!
