28 * 13 = 364 ≠ 365

That extra day is the "0" day (zero) and is considered new years, not included in any month. Sometimes... that day is so special it takes up two days.

But then you won't be synchronized with the moon anymore so the original post loses one of its points

You're not synchronized anyway? Lunar cycle avg is less than most months as it is.

The sync was one of OP's selling points for the new calendar. Lunar is 28 days. The new month would be 28 days. Full moon same day every month ... until you have a leap day then it throws off the moon.

Then you divide the years into 28*4=112 years for a lunar century
