I still don't see any good reasons why I should use my own proprietary
document language plus CSS for my homepage instead of XHTML plus CSS.
What do I, my users, and the web in general gain by this? If there are
good reasons, I'd be curious to know what's wrong with XHTML and why the
W3C still spends time with further development of XHTML.

Sorry, but graphic designers design graphics, they aren't respobsible
for authoring web documents and even less for dealing with XML data and
even if they were for some obscur reasons, there are other way to get
XML data in some format applicable for web browsers.
