You can use the Beatport Downloader application to give you some control over how the files are named, including removing the catalogue number. It still doesn't give quite as much control as I'd like (for example, if you want to have artist, track, mix and label in the filename, you have to put the label after the artist), but it's definitely an improvement over downloading through your browser.

What the fuck does the file name matter?

The number in the file name makes no difference to me. I use the Beatport Downloader to download all of my newly bought tracks at once. Then U use mp3tag to get the metadata how I want it and automatically rename my mp3 files.

it's the track's id number in the beatport database.

Can't you just remove it in the files properties? Is it really that difficult?

if he didn't know that then he must be a total newb

No not a "newb"

Just wondering why the most expensive download store on the planet would require me to alter a file to make things easier....?

The number serves me no purpose. Why should I waste time changing it?
I want:

artist
track


How fucking hard can it be for the money grabbing ******s to alter?

You shouldn't. Seriously, what the fuck does the file name matter?
