Same with gasoline. We don't just find it laying around. We have to dig up something out of the ground, and then process it into usable materials/fuel. By your own argument, gasoline is a battery. Even if it IS more energy dense than hydrogen.
Frankly, I think a Nuclear plant, operating a hydrogen cell production line for vehicles, would be the ideal way to go. A burnable, portable fuel produced from cheap, abundant energy from nuclear plants that also power other industries and cities. And THEN instead of gasoline, we use oil for its numerous other products.
