Interestingly (and IMHO unsurprisingly) org-mode does this correctly[0]. Footnotes are identified by 'fn:' and a unique token (of course, numbers are unique tokens); they can be easily inserted with C-c C-x f, and can also be renumbered — including normalisation.

IMHO org-mode is, as the original author puts it, 'one of the most reasonable markup languages to use for text.' I suggest that rather than trying to improve Markdown, folks just use org-mode instead.
