Your suggestion does not remove implicit and possibly misplaced trust, it just moves it from one place to another. Instead of trusting a certificate authority and DNS, you trust the source of the public key, and probably also DNS. As always, it boils down to a) key distribution is hard and b) what's your threat model?
