Whether income tax is generally acceptable is a much broader (and philosophical) topic than the simpler question of whether it should be simpler to handle (obviously yes unless you make money from its complexity).
In that case the debate would never end. Even before we get down to tax complexity, how do we decide if 10% of income as tax is good enough, versus 20%? Notice the rabbit hole of arguments that one can get sucked into.

Why would we have to do that? The reality is that we already have an income tax, and we can definitely simply its filing process without changing its current rates.
So far this sounds like a standard libertarian tactic where you try to turn every debate on political policy specifics into a debate around whether government should be doing anything at all. It's not any different than internet marxists who, given a topic that revolves around business, will always reply "well X should just handled by government anyway FULL COMMUNISM NOW". It's completely unproductive and borderline trolling.
