So our Islamiyat teacher gave us this question for homework. In my opinion, I don't think it would have made a big difference either way, since Allah would be making all the decisions himself and would be giving commands. It would have been astonishing and difficult for even an educated man to anticipate something of such great power but since Allah gave him the "ability" to witness him, it does't matter.

The prophet was illiterate ,and this is significant because he was not able to read books of Jews nor Christians yet he told them many things about laws of their doctrines and what they did hide from their people
The logic behind this is to confirm the authenticity of Quran. If Muhammad (S.A.W) had been a poet or if he could read or write, People would say that Quran is also written by him. And this is to prove that Quran is from Allah(S.W.T) which knows everything towards His Servant which could not read or write. @Ahmed Hassan has also explained a good point. The Orientalists today say that:
Muhammad (S.A.W) used to study Bible and older books deeply during his stay in the cave.
Muhammad (S.A.W) could not read proves that the Prophet did not study those books as He could not read.
Another point is that Muhammad (S.A.W) is the role model for all humanity. The fact that He could not read motivates illiterate people of today that they can follow Islam and the community of Islam has a good support for them unlike other communities where they are considered inferior.
Moreover, Allah (S.W.T) knows the best as Muhammad was His servant.
