"Friendly" and "land" are inherited, not borrowed. Those are two different processes and Anglish only gets rid of the words from one, not from the other.

"English" is not a mix; "English vocabulary" is. (Just like the vocab of most other languages.) A language is not just its vocab just like a mammal is not just its fur. The core of the language (its grammar) is pretty much what you expect from a Germanic language after some aggressive erosion of the case system.

English didn't get many words from "German"; the inherited vocab is from "Proto-Germanic". The name might be similar but they're different languages, Proto-Germanic is the parent of English, German, Swedish, Icelandic, Gothic, etc.

People often point out the "French" (actually a mix of French and Norman) loanwords in English. Sure, there's a lot of them, but as Anglish shows they aren't structurally that important. On the other hand, the text couldn't get rid of "they", even if it's a borrowing from Old Norse - the old third person plural "hīe" would probably have ended as "she", just like the feminine singular.

EDIT: if the downvotes are due to some incorrect piece of info, please, say it. I tried to make the comment as accurate as possible, but something might've slipped, dunno.

Alternatively, if something that I said is unclear, please also say it and I'll do my best to clarify it.
