That is all for entertainment but in our world both are important . Doing a comparison on such little things does not make sense.
For example,
$log_π π= 1$ whereas $log_π e$ is a nasty number.
Geometry came earlier than calculus.
For making calculus, geometry was important and therefore π being used in baby geometry makes it better than e in your point 5 case.

6. You really should use log instead of ln if you want me to take you seriously.
5. Pi arises in calculus and analysis. For example in the riemann zeta function $\zeta(2)=\pi^2/6$.
3. $\pi$ stands for periphery.

I beg your pardon, it was an attempt at humor.

It are in fact the engineers who use ln, not the mathematicians.

sin(e) is a nasty number, where sin(π)=0.
Pi e without e might not taste good, but what is pi e without pi?
