Confluence is using an internal ID for each page "editpage.action?pageId=193597246" anyway so why cant we have Confluence pages with the same name?

Because the structure of a space is flat, and you need, and should have, unique names for objects within it.

Oh, and Atlassian have worked with places where you ask things like "show me the definitive page about penguins" and the response is

  • Penguin
  • Penguin
  • Penguin

Which one of those three is the definitive one?
