The point is that if there are enough votes on the ballot for him, it would at least potentially spark curiosity in Sakurai to see what all the hullabaloo is about (assuming he has no idea who Shovel Knight is already, which is likely).
If he sees him, gets a chuckle out of the style and finds him interesting, that could boost his chances, maybe even pave way for a Japanese release of the game. If he doesn't find him interesting, then he'd skip him, and the third case is that he just doesn't notice him at all.
I'd actually find it hilarious if he made some sort of new Kirby character, Meta Knight's dirty hobo cousin, Shovel Knight.
