You still haven’t explained why one would love a land and the benefit of sending one’s daughter to E”Y for this purpose.
Yes, I agree that there might be an emotional attachment to a place where one grew up and that this could be extended to include E”Y because that is the land that our forefathers lived in, etc. and that we used to have until Hashem kicked us out.
As to “chiba”, this means a fondness, not ahava, but it’s irrelevant anyways.
None of that extends to create a mitzva to either be fond or to love any land and, as relevant to this thread, none of this explains the proposed benefit of sending one’s daughter to E”Y to increase her love of the land.
