One of the newly created problem there would be "Hey! I keep editing this in GIMP, but my changes never show up".
Pasting an image into Inkscape does not allow you to edit it and have the changes show up in the document - it is not the original image that is linked, it is the copy in the document's folder. The feature you don't want to break does not actually exist. Moreover people have no such problems with apps like OpenOffice.org which embed by default.
Another one is "I have a common image placed for background, and now my directory jumped from 100MB to 20GB and can't fit on my thumb drive any more".
20GB uncompressed SVG file would have to contain 5GB of images.
When phrased that way, we see your preferred solution turns into "Make Inkscape never support external media"
The links made through pasting are useless. They point to images with bogus filenames. If this is the only way to create a link to an image, then we do not actually support links.
Also once the big-picture is seen in that phrasing, we can see that we need to support CSS files, ICC files, Palette files, *other* SVG files and many others, and not just have a solution for images and only images.
Those other files are not directly related to this problem because you do not paste them into documents. We can address link management separately.
