The torque converter converts kinetic rotational energy into torque, It also acts as a buffer to bleed off excess rotational kinitic energy (as heat). It doesn't help the engine spin up in RPMs when you press on the accelerator, although it does allow it to do so.
Adding a big enough motor would help spin the engine faster, not just allow it to do so. I'm actually counting on the torque converter because without it, the motor has to be big enough to push the entire car so the wheels can spin faster.
