Should UK motorways have the European "E route" numbers?

Realistically, what would be the point of this?

The UK is on islands. It’s not like you can just follow the road continuously through to the next country; you have to get a on a ferry or a train. The only exception to this appear to be a single “E” road running from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland and from what I can see they essentially have a consistent national ref anyway.
