One of the purposes of grub-mkrescue is to generate images that are bootable
using GRUB. These images might be complete CDs or DVDs, making a complete
copy very undesireable.
I think I'd rather remove the copiing stage altogether and operate on the
original directory (this is not so strange, e.g. -boot-info-table in
mkisofs also modifies original data and is widely used).

still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
