If anything, basing the system of measurement on the Earth seems very terracentric, and doesn't incorporate the rest of the galaxy.
You don't think that's more of a habit than anything else? I know exactly how warm 20 degrees Celsius is, while having no idea about 70F.

Can anybody come up with a decent galactic unit btw? Either they're very, very small (rest mass of a unbounded proton) or very, very large (speed of light).
