San Francisco exists at all because there is a bay there.

Why would SF go away without a bay? Do you mean because of tourism?

If anything it seems like SF would grow its boundaries if this happened.

Along with LA/Long Beach, Oakland is one of the two major ports on the US west coast. It does tremendous amounts of shipping.

Trains, planes, and automobiles would surely still function?

Is there something inherently better about seafaring ships? Wouldn't the ports just move?
