We could, but first we'd need to determine how long a cubit is, then we'd have to invent sub-cubits for smaller measurements, and super-cubits for longer distances etc. 
A lot of work for very little practical benefit. 

We can use Cubit as a standard unit. A Cubit is 45 cm. The Ancients used the cubit for thousands of years, much longer than the use of metrics. Sub units of cubit is hands and super units of cubits are fathom 180 cm and miles 4 thousand cubits.
