Just a couple of comments.

1.Planck did not perform any experiments here. He was a theorist, trying 
to explain data taken by other physicists.

2. Planck did not plot E vs f and call the slope h. That wasn't he point 
of his exercise at all. What he was doing was considering the 
distribution of energy emitted by oscillators of frequency f. It had 
been assumed up until that point that light could come in ANY amount of 
energy from the oscillator (much like you do), and this continuum of 
energies led to a distribution of frequencies from a blackbody that 
didn't match measurements. What Planck proposed instead is that the 
amount of energy radiated by the oscillators is in fact not continuous 
but in smallest increments of hf.
