We're not assuming the existence of such physical properties. We're also not assuming the inexistence of such physical properties. That's the point. You're making a leap based on no evidence. I'm making no such commitment and your arguments shouldn't convince anyone to make that leap with you. Worse, you want to use this unfounded leap to claim we know something else. It's terrible epistemology. It turns out we do know that other fact, but certainly not by following you down your unsound road.
We might never get a "theory of everything", and we shouldn't assume the existence of new physical properties without any other reason to do so, this goes against the principle of parsimony ! (Especially continuous ones, none of which seem to exist for now !)
And if our understanding of physics does change, it could have other dramatic consequences - that Bekenstein bound might not be valid any more for instance...
