If the block size is increased, a lot more transactions will fit in a block, so transactions would get much cheaper.

And while it's a great goal to have all monetary transactions use Bitcoin, that is very very far from reality for now.

I agree. Increasing block size to 4-8 Mb is probably safe. And it would encourage more adoption. At this moment, unfortunately, confirmation times are close to unreliable.
