I just got home from seeing this as well. It definitely wouldn't have made sense, but I don't think anyone would've objected. Also, side note, fuck spiderman. Too much comic relief in a fairly dark movie( for MCU so far anyways).
He really was super young. I think his whole thing was written really well, and Tom Holland played it beautifully, but it just doesn't mesh with the vibe of the movie. He seemed really out of place. Prolly should have specified that instead of just saying "fuck spiderman". It's super late here and I am super tired :P
I almost feel that his being out of place was intentional. It really served to highlight how desperate or maybe just out of touch Tony has become that he stooped to dragging a kid into a fight with super soldiers, assassins and other assorted super enhanced being.
Can I say the same the thing goes for Scott Lang? Think about it, in Ant Man he said he's done screwing around, he's gotta be there for his daughter and stay out of prison, and then now he's putting his life on the line involving himself in this. It shows how desperate he is to fight the Sokovia Accords, he's willing to risk never seeing his daughter again
Looking back at it now I think you're both spot on, but at the time I was watching it it just seemed like marvel was awkwardly shoehorning him in in order to tie in a spiderman movie later on.
I loved the "stay down or I will call Aunt May" line, but also my first thought was "shouldn't that be a pretty big clue that maybe it wasn't the best idea to involve him in the first place? Just a thought Tony."

Dude. I JUST watched this. And I mean. They coulda done it
Yeah I mean Black Widow's latex suit and ridiculous butt-showing poses are okay, but this isn't because how dare they objectify men. Honestly I'm not a feminist, I actually think that modern feminism has gone to crap with all the wage gap and rape culture stuff, but the objectification in the movie and video game industry is just ridiculous, because it even goes against itself sometimes like giving characters armor that looks absolutely unusable in actual battle and making poses that make the character look like she can't fight for shit.
I...I just can't. I can't!
I need!!!
