Transfer eligibility is a CIF thing. CIF adopted a state wide rule in 07 that included the change because there was no uniformity across all sections. Some had a full year restriction, some 30 days, and some not at all.
Since the change, CIF has not seen any overall increase in transfers, and the total amount of administrative stuff associated with transfers has gone down. That being the case, I rather doubt CIF is going to change it back, so your only option would be to get the district to decide to no longer participate in CIF.

Now I would imagine the "each school having the same classes" thing might be something might have some say so over, but I doubt they would ever do that.
And personally, I don't think they should. Valencia dominated the Foothill league long before they removed the JV only restriction for transferring freshman. Keeping the transfer rule as it is will ultimately help a school like West Ranch because there will be parents who have kids who want to play for a good HS coach who won't want to wait 2 years in the queue for a potential Varsity spot at Valencia.
I know if I was a parent of a Varsity caliber freshman coming into Valencia this year (when the team only lost a single Senior starter) I would want the option of going to a different school that is close by, equal in terms of education and has a good coach who has the ability to turn the program into a very successful one.
