I don't know how they expected to replace the X-Men with Inhumans. The Inhumans are a bunch of insane royals that are impossible to relate to and for the most part even more difficult to really be interested in. I just don't get how you look at Inhumans and go "Yeah, we can make a cool team of these guys to fight evil!" They just aren't that. They're a bunch of weirdos with weird problems that nobody can relate to. It's so weird that they thought this would work out.

That's not really what the plan was originally. They weren't trying to replace the X-Men with the royals, they were trying to replace random mutants with random Inhumans. The idea was that random people all over the world were unknowingly descendants of the ancient Inhumans, and in the Infinity event when the Terrigen mists spread across the world, a bunch of them would suddenly get Inhuman powers. So when they want a character to just be some random person that gets powers for no reason, they'd be Inhumans (and thus characters that Marvel held the film rights to) and not mutants (who would go to Fox despite being new).

There's no real reason that shouldn't have worked, and really it DID work because that's where Kamala Khan came from and she's the best new hero Marvel's had in years. The problem was when they also tried to push out the established, popular X-Men characters.
