Lojban is basically what you describe, but you have to learn a few thousand words to even be able to start communicating in it. And then you are restricted to those few thousand made up words, as opposed to the vast number of concepts that have been named in English or other languages.
It would be cool if we could take the existing English vocabulary but with Lojban (or whatever language) grammar. People who know English would be able to learn the language much faster. People who don't would still benefit somewhat by learning some English when learning it.
