Chinese is a pretty old language, and I think it makes sense for them to use numbers. It makes things simple and I agree that they have a lot of different words when combined, mean similar things.

I don't have a problem with the way they use numbers for the days of week. It's a simple system that makes sense. The Western world chose to operate with symbolic names, which is fine too. I'm thinking one favors a better numbers and associations-oriented mind, the other a more memory-focused mind.
