Dude, the faults in your assumptions would make the San Andreas blush. Small wheels are significantly
stronger than larger wheels, making them superior for cargo use. The bottom brackets on small wheeled bikes aren't any lower than other bikes; if they were, your pedals would hit the ground. Twitchier handling? Sure, but nothing that proper tire and handlebar selection, along with the stability of the longer wheelbase, wouldn't help plenty with.
I think a folding longtail is a terrific idea. A full on cargo bike that you can fit in a hatchback if need arises, thus eliminating one of their biggest drawbacks
