PV: I've never seen anyone advocate changing the common usage terms to CE and BCE; I've only ever seen them used in a by-Jew for-Jew context. Either way, the terms are used to reflect the way western society uses dates (thus Common Era and Before Common Era) so using some other calendar would be pointless and uncommunicative.
And as for your point about birthdates being a fixed point in time; it's widely accepted that Jesus was born in approximately the years 4 to 8 BC so it's a fairly arbitrary counting system anyway.
