No. Your 16 Strength Ranger isn't any better at intimidating a dragon because he's got a little muscle.
So I agree with your other points, but I've always liked the variant rule "Skills with different abilities" and consider it as integral to my games as feats. In that section it explicitly calls out a fighter using Str to intimidate instead of Cha. I'm curious why you don't like it.
