if the intervals are equal, wouldn’t it be more convenient to have 12 notes in order from A to L instead of CDEFGAB with sharps and flats?

Answer 1

No, because it’s more convenient to annotate notes that sound good together. Half steps together don’t sound good, not to say it can’t work, but music is a pallete of sounds. Full steps work better together generally than half steps. So music is organized that way.
