I think I am actually headed in your direction but don't have the means to get there yet. I have intuitions that space-time is discrete, but I don't possess the requisite knowledge or the grasp of physics to corroborate them.
Totally agree with how unsettling our model of physics is if we grant that space-time is in fact discrete. I do believe, however, it is not so much about making the math easier as it is about making the universe conform to our perception of beauty. Continuous is just sexier than discrete. :-)
