We could, actually. You are being negative again.The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement does not explicitly require ECHR membership, although technically the parts of it relating to law enforcement and security 'may be suspended' (Article 524). However, trade would not be impacted as you have strongly implied here.

Other trade agreements would not be affected at all by our withdrawing from the ECHR.

The economic impact of our leaving the EU has not been the disaster that remainers had predicted, and the EU is desperate to try to prove otherwise, given that some countries are considering leaving the EU. Poland, for example, is facing daily fines for continuing to prevent uncontrolled immigration into the country. If the EU can persuade those countries that the disadvatages of doing so outweigh the advantages, it will make them think twice.
