Isn't there goodwill value left over because of relationships and institutional knowledge, even after SVB is stripped of assets and after debt is accounted for? Might some larger bank retain that operation and return some value to taxpayers?

Their liabilities are greater than their assets, there is no equity value left. Someone can acquire them for $1 if they want to assume their liabilities.

Goodwill is the difference in value between the assets of a company and the price an acquirer paid for a that company
