Since inflation is a tax, the question begs, what are the taxes for? You have onus to explain why a tax is needed and what it is that it is fixing, over not taxing? What economic situation are we punishing or promoting?

What does inflation do for our current financial system? Does it help anything? Anyone? The answer is yes. It helps banks and governments to borrow. You see, borrowing in a deflationary currency means your debts GROW as time goes on. If you borrow inflationary currency your debts shrink as time goes on.

You can see how the incentives would promote debt, paper Bitcoin, among governments and corporations, if we were to have a perpetual inflation in the unit of account.
