The idea is that the accidental death rate will also go down.

I'm not fully a believer. I think mind uploading is ridiculous and that death of the whole brain will always mean what it does now. However, I also think that-- especially if indefinite healthy lifespans become feasible-- accidental death rates will go way down over the centuries. Those numbers aren't constant.

I could see, 10000 years from now, people storing their neural tissue in extremely safe repositories and interacting with bodies remotely.

I already interact with your body remotely -- over Hacker News.
