Ignoring \[...\] when filling the paragraph is misleading. You may
believe the object doesn't belong to the paragraph at all. I think M-q
should, on the contrary, give clues about the structure of the document.
Also, it doesn't make a difference when exporting to LaTeX, but it might
in back-ends with a different definition for paragraphs (e.g. HTML).

Indentation and line breaks are meaningful in Org. They are not just
syntactic sugar.

There is another alternative: use \begin{equation*}
or \begin{displaymath}. M-q does not fill those.
You're trying to solve an already solved problem, although the actual
solution doesn't suit you.
