What arguments can be given against the assumption that
Fulling-Davies-Unruh (FDU) radiation at the cosmological horizon
is at the basis of the "creation" of matter and radiation?

In more detail, the question is whether the cosmological horizon could
continuously emit FDU radiation which is redshifted into 3K photons
and partly, after a longer process that includes annihilation and more,

into baryons. In simple words, one could rephrase the question as:
"Are we - humans - made of FDU radiation remainders?"

The model would be a mixture of big bang model and quasi steady
state model; it would still allow for expansion and density reduction
of the universe, but it would include continuous matter and
radiation creation at the horizon.

Since this model is in (slight) contrast with the standard model,
there must be something wrong with it. What would the arguments
against it be?

The usual arguments against the steady state models do not seem
to apply, and the model is compatible with the standard model.
There is even an advantage, as one does not need to imagine that
matter exists behind the horizon that continuously crosses
over to this side of the horizon while the universe expands.
(Assuming the existence of (unobservable) matter behind the
horizon is one of the weaknesses of the standard model of
cosmology.)

Surely this has been already discussed; what is the status of the
issue?

I just came across your message. I am all for developing theories from
first principles, and of the opinion that starting "in the middle"
with what is not even a proven concept, and extrapolating from there
is a losing game.
My Dual Space theory is complete from creation to present cosmology so
it's pretty thick going. My book tells the whole story, and I have put
10 papers on my web site explaining different aspects. Permittivity #1
paper describes that I have found a second space that is totally
uncreated electron-positron pairs and which is the source of this
universe. Creation consists of the creator causing electrons to part
from their partners the positrons, boiling into this universe, and at
the same time leaving the positrons as twin embodiments of this
universe. Our universe flies through time at c, yielding immediately
all the results of sp. and gen. relativity. See this in #4. #9
explains that creation is at a constant rate giving rise to the
maximum force you favor.
Maybe you should see the book. Look through the papers and believe
that I have proofs for every statement made.
