Do you even know what っ is? みんな and みっな might be spelled the same in romaji, but they are completely different. っ is a 促音(glottal stop) and it is a character that does not exist in romaji. Although rare, we DO have glottal stops in English speech though. For instance, the middle of Uh-oh where you stop your speech and get ready for the next syllable. If you just said UhOh where it flowed together without a stop we'd have something completely different.
