Quit my job and they are now offering it as an internal promotion for several thousand above my salary

I've worked in my current company for over seven years and got promoted to my current role five years ago. Although I'm in general good standing and complete my work well , I've only been given raises in line with NMW increase to be paid slightly more than the entry level position that I joined at, and over the years there have been various additions to responsibilities.

Now that I have handed in my notice, they are advertising my role as an internal promotion for a much higher salary and removed some responsibilities from the role. I have repeatedly requested raises and been told they can only give these within strict parameters at annual increments despite a large increase in workload.

Naturally, I'm really frustrated and feel like kicking off, however I do really like my team and direct manager and I'm keen to leave on a high note despite all this. I've been so upset that it's really distracted me from completing my duties to the usual standard.

What I would really like at a bare minimum is either a raise for my notice period or to drop an hour each day to bring my hourly rate in line with what they've now decided the role is worth, is it worth asking for this? I realise HR or senior management are unlikely to change their minds just out of kindness but is there an argument to be made that this could put the company at risk, particularly as even though I'm an IC I have access to a lot of documents and reporting others don't and admin access to systems? Although there is no legal recourse as it's within their legal rights (albeit really shit), is there any other action I can really take other than do the bare minimum for now and look forward to starting my new role?
