The Seven States of America?

What if we just abolished the 50 States or replaced them with seven mega-regions or provinces? (See below for a hypothetical example of what such a proposal might look like on a map.) After all, our northern neighbors in Canada have only 10 provinces. So, aside from historical tradition, why do we still need 50 separate States?
