The Link isn't necessarily about journeys from Watford into London but
will provide useful local links into Watford from suburbs which are
currently nearby geographically but have no direct rail link into the
town. It will also provide more useful access to and from the West Coast
Main Line for these suburbs, at pretty low cost.

So people get off at Watford Junction and then a bus takes them out
into the suburbs of Watford.

I mean suburbs like Croxley, Northwood, Pinner and even
Harrow-on-the-Hill (which is pretty poorly linked to the WCML despite
being almost next to it). Yes, you could get a bus to Wealdstone, a
train to Watford Junction and then another train from there... but why
not just get one train to Watford Junction? It's much more attractive.

The point still is there is nothing nearby Croxley Green station to
make it worthwhile to be kept.

The link isn't designed to solely reopen Croxley Green station! Anyway,
what's wrong with the Croxley Centre industrial park?

If you want to re-open old train lines
and provide train links to the subhurbs of towns and cities around
London and the home counties Im sure a lot of people could give more
needy examples than Watford

As cheaply and to as important a place?
