Default RE: Wing incidence degrees for a low wing monoplane?

With the increased cruise speed of powered flight I am wondering if you shouldn't take the incidence out. It seems that less angle of attack will be needed because of speed and the fuse will be pointed down in level flight. Also the change in horizontal stab angle in relationship to the wing may help keep it from climbing so much when power is added.

I am a pilot and not an engineer just throwing out some thoughts.
