There are at least two things wrong with your "theory". Perhaps you remember this picture I once posted.
It shows how an antibody (in the picture the Ab is bound to a molecule) and the receptor may be internalized.
This is called receptor-mediated endocytosis. The receptor may be recycled and be returned to the cell surface,
but the ligand is destroyed inside the cell in a lysosome which has a very acidic environment. The picture is
somewhat simplified here.

So the antibody will not be sticking to the PS on the inside of the plasma membrane.

The other big problem is that you seem to conveniently forget that bavituximab does not bind to PS.
It binds to the serum protein beta2-glycoprotein I. That is a protein which circulates in the blood stream,
it isn't present in the cell for bavituximab to bind to.

Here is a reference you might want to look at. Molecular Cell Biology , by Lodish et al.
There is a section on receptor-mediated endocytosis.
You just can't make up ideas that are contrary to facts without some kind of evidence.
This is the last time I will post on this.
