Imho the problem with HM is not that you have to teach them, but that they are STUPIDLY BAD moves besides surf and waterfall which you get much later in the game. 

Make Rock Climb a 90 BP Rock Type move, make Strenght 100 BP (wouldn't be used competitively because Return is 102, but it'd be enough for people to use it in the story), make Rock Smash a 90BP Fighting move and so on...

I would guess the original reasons to not have this is so that TMs still had some value while they were single use items but you could use HMs on all the Pokemon you wanted to, but now since TMs are multi use as well there is no real reason to keep the HM moves so utterly useless in power in places.

Still changes have been made to BP of lots of moves, Pokémon Stats, typing weaknesses and this problem still hasn't been solved, does it take that much to make Flash a 70BP electric move that lowers accuracy ?
