I agree wholeheartedly with your comments.
The school grade should most definitely count as a separate grade; many
students work very hard for this grade. However, it should not be averaged
into the "Bagrut" grade. There should be a Bagrut test grade made up of the
"Bagrut" test and"Matkonet" scores and a separate school grade. The
Universities should receive both grades and average them as they see fit.

The problem is not that we have a school grade - the problem is that it is
not kept separate.
School grades show us a lot - how the student works, perseveres, improves,
invests effort, performs in class, etc. The Bagrut shows the grade of a
particular test.
Averaging them together is like taking half and apple and half an orange,
and gluing them together to create an "average fruit".
A help to average the Bagrut can be a matkonet test. That makes some
sense. The overall school grade should be taken into consideration, as a
separate entity alongside the Bagrut, by college/univeristy acceptance
committees. But then, of course, they will have to work a little harder.
How could we expect that? What are they, teachers or something?
