If a valid search warrant existed at the time of the search for the premises being searched, then the chances of a suppression are slim to none.
You do not have to like the law, but there it is. You can run for state or federal government on a platform of reform in such matters, but I would not count on it getting too far.
And, remember, the Fourth Amendment requires a warrant it does NOT require you be presented with a valid copy at the time of the search - that is a state specific thing. And since you are in CA, it is required, but there is no statutory penalty for failing to present it. The procedural problem can be brought up to bring the issue of the warrant into question, but by itself will not cause the suppression of the evidence.
