Well, you could, but why should you? I would agree that the hyphen can be overused, but surely the way round that is to cut them down to where they are essential to preserve a difference in meaning rather than abolish them altogether?
Another example: Because of the recent floods, some of the paintings in the gallery's collection need to be re-stored/restored.
