Torque converter Capacity
545RFE service fill 5.2L, overhaul 14-16L
48RE service fill 3.8L, overhaul 14-16L
most t/c probably hold 1-2 liter but this volume is part of the overhaul capacity.
i'm with you, why leave 1/2 the dirty old fluid in there. Other manufacturers are stating the filter no longer has to be changed if complete fluid exchanges are done from new. Maybe fca will soon follow suit.

There's about ~12qts in TQ converter and cooler lines. Your pan only holds a small portion(5.5qts)
In above thread shows very easy way to flush all old fluid out. Takes about 1hr. Don't even have to drop the pan.
