Congratulations. You have just pretty much described the MTA's 1970 Plan For Action, which called for the construction of the 63rd Street subway tunnel connecting with a "Super Express" route that would use the Lower Montauk line and presumably connect back into the current system about where they build the underground connector for the J/Z. That plan was NIMBYed to death, and the MTA ended up settling for the new 63rd Street link to the Queens Blvd. line, which doesn't do nearly as much as a fast connection from eastern Queens to Manhattan would have done.
