Why "of course"? 
Please give arguments for your points.

However you are just talking about notation, 
not of basic arithmrtic.

You are not making sense here.
Storing values in binary is the most efficient in digitsl computers,
and your conversions are just input/output.

You are not making sense here.

Again, you are talking about notation, so input/output, 
the values, wether integer or fractional, are independent of the notation 
base.

btw, there are lots of values that cannot be notated in a 10-based decimal-
point notation, like 1/3, or even as a fraction in any base, like pi, so as 
soon as you are allowing fractional values, exactness will go out of the 
window. 

So stop your self-inflicted impossible task 
and start enjoying Javascript and mathemetics.
