Nope. The whole idea doesn't work without the squid.
The WHOLE point of the plan was to unite the world against an alien attack.
The problem with switching the squid to Dr Manhattan is that we all know that Dr. Manhattan is omnipotent.
There is no hope. He can't be defeated. The squid could be defeated.
I still like the movie although it just didn't live up to the awesomeness of the first trailer.
I'm a huge fan of both the graphic novel and the movie. Everything you said is true but.....it's a giant squid. I feel like the movie would have lost most of the audience that didn't read the book. They would have had to add all the little side stories about the missing artists and stuff to an already lengthy film.
I think the current ending works just as well. The fact that Dr. Manhattan couldn't be defeated doesn't matter because part of the plan was for him to leave. He's only a potential threat to mankind. The world will still unify and work together to find a way to stop another attack from Dr. Manhattan. Whether or not they find a successful method doesn't even matter.
