Well, with a bit of extra infrastructure, and a more sensible railway policy they could run trains form the mainland to the aiport "airside" as well, couldn't they?
Having a performing rail network serve the hinterland of an airport is something many countries do.
No that would not be a bit of extra infrastructure, That would be major infrastructure to bring the High speed train to airport. The current track on the Tung Chung/Airport line, can't be used for the high speed train. So that would probably require to build a complete underground extension from the newly built high speed track.
