Except it _can_ - It is imported and shown as a tiddler, the only thing 
that is missing is a download link - and that is not hard to add, as Greg's 
answer shows. For images it already works with much more extensive support, 
and there is neither a technical nor really a conceptual difference to 
embedding other binary files.

Which is rather inconvenient, since I have to manually put the files there 
(not trivial for wiki run on a server) and manually enter the correct 
filename without search functionality.

Not really - binary tiddlers already exist and work, the only thing missing 
is a download link feature.
