By that logic, Americans should use km/h instead of mph. Going 0-100 is much better than 0-60. For the same reason you keep telling us why Fahrenheit is so much more intuitive.

Actually, it's the other way around. 100 degrees F weather is really hot. Driving 100 MPH is really fast.

In metric we have 40 degrees C weather is really hot, and driving....uhhh... (gets out a calculator)... 160 km/h is really fast.

Uhh and 100 ° C is also really hot.

Plus, 100 km/h is also pretty fast.
