I absolutely agree. Helmholtz may have been the standard, but it's a stupid standard. C4 = middle C, etc. is much more elegant, logical, and easy to understand.
It's like the difference between imperial and metric measurements.
I believe it used to be long ago that blowing on pipe 1" in diameter and 12" long produced middle C. Presumably at an ideal of 256 cycles per second. While the metric system calculates volumes rather handily, I think the loss of the idea of a relationship between measurement units and vibration reduces it to the mundane.
