Thinking of removing SPD and cleats

I keep falling off my bike at intersections. Last time it happened, last weekend, I had unclipped coming to a t-junction, and then somehow got my cleat caught as I put my foot down.

I have been riding with SPD (basic-release type, on loosest setting) for more than ten years, but still, I seem to be a bit clumsy with them.

So, I am considering removing my SPD system.

Will I lose much of the advantage it supposedly offers? What should I put in its place? I typically do 30-50 mile rides in hilly terrain.
