A flight is a flight, and the having to run additional flight with the E2 to match CSeries capacity, applies to all airlines.
There’s also fact that two E2s could be too much capacity as opposed to one CS300.
Let’s say that an airline operates one weekly flight with the CS300, and said flight is always full. The route only has enough demand for a once weekly, so that’s all it gets. If said airline changes to a fleet of E2s, they no longer have the capacity for the always full flight, so they’re left with two options; 1.) Fly a second flight that only has 40 passengers on board, or, 2.) Keep the flight once weekly, and not be able to serve their passengers as needed.

If I was in that airline’s shoes, I’d say either keep the CS300, or change to the E145 and fly three times weekly. (E145, or any 50 seat RJ has higher seat mile costs though, so the CS is cleaner and more profitable to operate.)

And there’s slot restrictions

And amounts of slots, as well

or we switch to a NEO or a MAX? See, demand isn’t fixed, and it can change through the year
also the pandemic proved that efficiency is what is needed, and thus the E2 is better off than the A220 in most routes, given the reduced demand
or you fly 2 E175-E2 services a week?
Then why didn’t the E2 gain orders? The CS did, it became known as the champion of the pandemic .

How can one fly a plane that won’t be available for another 3 or 4 years?

Those CSeries would be delivered in the likes of 2022/2023, when demand was expected to return, and thus it wouldn’t make sense to get the smaller E2 in those “normal” times
Aren’t we talking hypothetical?

Then say hypothetically before your comment. Otherwise, you’re talking about current stuff.
So, yes, hypothetically you could fly 2 E175-E2 services and match capacity, but that’s an additional landing fee, and additional slot expense, additional time that ground crews are working, additional fuel that has to be purchased, etc.

AND THEN HOW CAN YOU FLY 3 E145s OR CRJ2s?
I never said you should. When I mentioned the E145, I’m pretty sure I said that the 50 seaters would be worse.

Even the A380 is better

That’s going off of what planes are currently available to the market. 175-E2 isn’t around yet. The normal E175 (which is the better 175) does exist however, and would be an ideal fit for the route.

and again,
I take it that you’d also think that the commie plane (C919) is better?
