What meaningful work has ever been eliminated by machines? Do you have examples?

To rephrase the question in terms you may agree with: what should happen when there is not enough meaningful work to keep everyone employed?
(I believe we reached this point some time ago)

The bounds of the human imagination, and its possible expressions, are functionally infinite. Then it is only a question of resources. I don't agree that we've reached this point.
In a post-scarcity world, I don't think the problem of insufficient meaningful work is likely to occur. There will always be a kitten to be played with, art to be made, research to be performed, and more.
