with a gap in the middle, it could offer a bit of downforce, no?

No, you want as much of the air to go under the splitter as possible to generate downforce.

How many Fit owners actually track their cars? And I honestly think that L15-powered Fits are too slow to actually benefit from having a rear diffuser.

There are some, but more and more people are actually taking their cars to the track nowadays, which makes me happy.

And aren't track cars essentially garage queens? I know mine is.

I believe that eliminating the drag imposed by the rear bumper would improve fuel mileage and acceleration at highway speeds when passing slower moving traffic... I am very sure I would benefit from having a functional diffuser on my car.

Probably not many, but how many track cars that benefit from a diffuser drive on the track faster than the fit is capable of? i agree the fit is slow...i think that everyone here can agree on that, but a diffuser is for airflow and if a car is moving, it has it. Although it may take a fit longer to get to speed than most track cars, thats not to say the fit is too slow to benefit from a diffuser.
