I am afraid you are being naive... You see only one factor out of many. Being able to link directly to the relevant part is irrelevant (pardon my pun!). Such links are machine-readable, not human-readable. Scientific text need visual citations and being able to name the referred part for reading comprehension. And Harvard-style citations (AKA name-date) exist for a reason; when your read a paper even in interactive format it helps when you can recognize citations to certain papers and not having to click on them or memorize numbers. Other styles have their own advantages and disadvantages; that's why they all exist and used by this or that journal, and no consensus on a single "right" style was ever reached.
