This allows us to say the probability that an integer is even is 0.5, or the probability that an integer is a perfect square is 0.
But can't you use this same logic to show that the cardinality of the even integers is half that of the cardinality of the total set of integers? Or to show that there are twice as many odd integers as there are integers evenly divisible by four? In other words, how can we talk about probability without implicitly talking about the cardinality of a subset relative to the cardinality of one of its supersets?
I'm not denying that your procedure "works", in the sense of actually generating some number that a sequence of probabilities converges to. The question is, what does this number actually mean? I'm suspicious of the idea that the resulting number actually represents the probability we're looking for. Indeed, what possible sense can it make to say that the probability that an integer is a perfect square is *zero*?
