So why the f**k did we created Althing? That doesn't make sense then.

To provide a unified place to debate and pass propositions, etc.  It does seem to have spurred activity on.  We can have the pace we're having right now without disregarding those provisions; we'd just need to have multiple votes at the same time (just like voting booths), which I don't think would get too hard.
