You are right that it makes more sense to have the King and Queen in the centre. You could add that file letters are merely a notational convention that has no bearing on play. Your note about if pieces could capture en passant has a bearing on my idea of a 'tout en passant' game in which anything can capture anything else (except a King) en passant. However I am sure that conventions could be devised to get round the problems highlighted.
