Argh! Saying there are no counter arguments don't make them invalid. The difficulty of actually moving it should be reason enough. There's no advantage to moving the main page except to fit the perceived requirement to follow some rule that has a specific exception for the main page.

Heh, just like how consensus on Wikipedia isn't about counting votes, counting arguments is pretty pointless. I'm repeating myself, but it boils down to that there is no good reason for Main Page to be in main article space other than the difficulty of actually moving it. So the number of arguments for it being in the wrong space is sort of irrelevant, as there are no counter arguments.
As to whether there would ever be anything called Main Page...if we *didn't* have that as the title of our top-level portal, we would probably redirect Main Page and Main page to homepage or index.html or something.
