Synopsis
PA-32 pilot reported a conflict while beginning the takeoff roll with an aircraft on final. ATC abruptly cancelled the takeoff and sent the other aircraft on a go-around.
Narrative
Tower cleared me for takeoff on Runway XXL without delay while a Piper Cub was cleared to land. I could not visually acquire the Cub due to the poor angle and placement of the Runway XXL hold-short line; but was listening to their progress on final and they were slow moving.As I crossed the hold-short line with clearance for takeoff; I was told to 'Cancel Takeoff Clearance' and the Cub was told to 'Go-Around.'This situation could have been mitigated by organizing the ATC operation at this airport. This airport has been the scene of numerous runway incursions and air traffic control's prioritizing speed over safety. Part of what occurred here is the constant switching of parallel runways for arrivals and departures.Also; the [1] Taxiway approaches the Runway XXL threshold at an angle where you are unable to see traffic on final making clearing the final hazardous and this scenario could have possibly been prevented if there was more of a 90 degree angle to the runway.The angle of the taxiway coupled with ATC at this particular control tower's desire for speed and efficiency over safety is a very dangerous situation. Widening [Runway] XXL and using it exclusively for landings while using [Runway] XXR for takeoffs would make this operation safer since the predominant direction of operation is south.
