I see where you're coming from, and I agree it sounds like a kludge. But in the science of astrophysics, there's a lot that we still don't understand and we're still at the theorizing stage for so much of it. It's a young science.
Dark Matter is a theory. I agree that it sounds like we need a better one. But that's the beauty of science: You come up with a better theory and try to test it. So there could very well be a better competing theory comin' 'round the bend any day now.
I find that I don't get hung up too much on theories related to astrophysics, because I know that those theories are at a different level of solidity than ones found in, say, biology, or regular physics.
