Artificially-created territorial subdivisions have no legitimacy to demand the sort of special representation such a body provides. The only situation in which it makes any sense is a confederal state where each unit has natural and unique distinctions from the other, which is obviously not the case for units with straight line borders. I am sure the people arguing for 'states rights' on this issue would change their tune were there five Californias instead of two Dakotas.

Each existing State has equal representation so seems like a FA to me.

That is completely untrue. Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, Alaska, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Hawaii, Idaho, Nebraska, and West Virginia each have far more Senate representation than California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Virginia do.

No. Each State has 2 Senators. That is equal representation for the existing States.

States aren't real.
