It is really just a DLC to the game. You can play the original game just fine without this. It seems reasonable to give gamers a choice to pay for additional content if they think it is worth the value of what they have added. I don't think I would consider that a cash grab. If nothing was added and it was just a graphical update, then I would agree with you but 10 bucks for a new game mode and cut levels is okay if you're into the game. I personally have a backlog that I'm still working through so I'll wait to get caught up or if it drops in price to like 5 dollars or below to see what the new mode is about.

Isn’t it an entire new game with additional content? The additional content could’ve just been an DLC purchase for €10-20.

If it isn’t an entire new game - then I’d agree it isn’t a cash grab and I didn’t understand it well.

If it is an entire new game for €70 then I stick to me points.

If you own the PS4 version you can just upgrade for 10 bucks. In that way it is just DLC.
