The 10-13 episode format is just right.

For the most part I do agree with you, with 10-12 episodes they can just concentrate on the main story arc for that season....
What happens when they do 20+ episodes is they don't have enough material for the main story arc to do a full season, so they put in fluff episodes that have nothing to do with the overall story arc...
Now where that really doesn't apply are series like Star Trek where each episode is it's own self contained story, there really is no big story arc to tell. They have a few story arc's that take up two episodes but usually nothing bigger then that.. Another example would be like The Outer Limits series..
