You could devise such a system, but it would have serious drawbacks. The moon is not always in the sky, and even when it is it is not always luminous enough to cast a shadow. During the new moon, for example, the moon is in the sky, but we are looking at the full unlit face of the moon without even a slight crescent of luminosity. Your system would probably be made up of very complicated equations even when the moon is luminous.

Why do lunar eclipses occur only during full moons?
Because a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon sails into Earth's shadow. That means it must be around the 'back' of the Earth, directly opposite the sun, since that's where the shadow is. And that also happens to be the set-up at the time of the Full Moon.
