I come from a country where the central bank can issue money (not print it, that's someone else's job).
It's great. They can use their powers to keep inflation at a small positive level, help smooth out economic bumps, and help the money supply keep pace with the economy.
A fixed amount, ever, would constrain economic growth, reward hoarders rather than investors, disincentivise spending and generally be a poor substitute.
As evidence I present ... the entirety of the Western world and it's multiple decades of unparalleled prosperity.
You've provided no evidence or argument as to why central banking might be 'awful', after I just explained why there is much to be liked about it.
Please do provide your reasons, but if they're just the usual libertarian tripe about inflation and taxes, I'm afraid I might not give them much credence.
