It would be great if I could submit images and game info in one step.

It would also be good if I could submit images by URL as an additional alternative to file upload?

I believe part of the reason is to ensure that the original submission is valid first before attempting to fill out any additional fields.

The reason we require a file upload is to help prevent using stolen images. All images submitted need to be created by the person submitting them to avoid any potential copyright issues.

...I wouldn't mind supporting it, if we could accept a submission but remove the image if it wasn't up to standards.

We could support URL and upload it to our server, but part of that problem is that it'd be abused to steal images, as Bickman mentions. File upload ensures that you at least "own" the image, even though it could be taken from another source, but we should be verifying that ourselves anyways. I could probably rig up something to do that verification process automatically...
