Generally, I'm not in favor of this. Points should be awarded according to how you finish the race. 'How you finish' being, after all, sort of the point of the exercise.
The problem, as some have pointed out, of backmarkers doing crazy chit to get a point is addressed by limiting the award to the top ten. When GP2 first added the fastest-lap-point to their rules....well, racers aren't stupid: backmarkers would stop 3 laps from the end, get fresh slicks then set a scorcher on empty tanks. No brainer. All that stopped when the FIA added the top-ten caveat.
