I gave you several ways it could be done, but as long as you are so fixated on the object you can't see it.
Humans apply value. Today the Mona Lisa has no value inherent you can say that someone who pays 400milion for a painting is being scammed even if it's original.
But even if you can replicate the atomic structure the human perception of the value of the original does not go away and that means there is a market for that.
Claiming that it's not possible to send something created from earth which itself would be valuable even if it was something which was replicated on earth without being scammed is simply misrepresenting humans and that's the important part here humans, not the object.
