One very good reason NOT to do as you are suggesting is that it simply will not work.
Reasons:
1. The floor is made of a sandwich of ply, foam insulation and ply.
It would be almost impossible to locate battens and screwing into foam is a waste of time.
2, Using long nuts and bolts will only exacerbate the problem with a floor which resembles a switchback ride.
You have already said you know you should use a special bonding glue,,,,,then do that.

I did mine two years ago with the two part kit and the wooden dowels, I think the kit was about
I also did mine a few years ago; follow the instructions and take lots of time to prepare. Very successful with kit from internet.
Don't underestimate the mess that can ensue, cover the ground under the 'van with a tarp or plastic. My drive still has a plastic puddle!
Support the floor underneath if there is any sagging, and have weights (bricks/blocks) ready for the top of the floor to ensure good flat bonding. Again, you need plastic sheeting to prevent sticking.
I drew a grid on the floor to ensure good even coverage.
Time for new carpets!
