Ron,
I'm not a battery expert, but I've done some reading on the subject and have a fair grasp of electrical fundamentals.
I believe the reason for putting the plates close together is to minimize internal resistance in the battery.
If a battery were constructed as you suggest I would think the resistance would be very high, which would limit your ability to draw any serious current from it.
While it may work for some specialized low-current application, I'm skeptical as to it's viability as a traction battery.
