I had an M50 and an M50 mkii bodies and several lenses and I recently had an offer to sell my M50 with 15-45 at a good price, which I did. Just like you, I started wondering if I need to replace the 15-45 as I already have EF-M 11-22, 55-200 and the 2 gorgeous Sigma 1.4s, the 30 and 56mm. My "decision" not to replace the 15-45 lasted less than 24 hours and I just bought one of the "as new" examples at MPB for €78 which is making it's way to Cyprus as we speak.
Yes the Sigmas are gorgeous lenses and for portraits, weddings etc they are worth their weight in gold but nothing can replace the convenience of the kit lens which is light and cheap and goes everywhere with me even strapped to a backpack when I mountain bike. I most certainly would not be using my Sigmas or the 11-22 mountain biking or as a "go-anywhere" lens. My recommendation is to replace it.
+1 to this.
I would also definitely miss the 15-45 kit lens. It's so small and handy. Very versatile too, with great results if you get a good copy.
I also have the EF-M 18-55 and 18-150 lenses, and they too are very good performers. I'd recommend either of them also.

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
