We should not just ditch imperial measures, but switch to a hexadecimal number system (with elegant new numerals for 10-15, of course). Not only will arithmetic become much easier, we will also be able to remember 4x4 patterns, and define all 8x8 pixel images with 4 short words!

Your argument may be right but I doubt it will be efficient. What you need is a mass media campaign against Arabic numerals which cannot hold Western values and make our children stupid.

How about an inclusive design contest instead? The new numerals should use one or two strokes, be rotation invariant (6 and 9, I am looking at you!), and robust against rounding corners and slanting strokes. Our present version of Arabic numerals is quite solid in this regard.
