Forget about Einstein's tortured derivation. There's no reason
to base special relativity on history's first published paper on
the topic or to fixate on the clumsiness of anyone's baby steps.
The best derivation of the special relativity available anywhere
to date in terms of sheer elegance, physical intuitiveness and
mathematical simplicity is given here:

Only the mathematically inept believe that Einstein's
Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies presents an admirable
derivation of special relativity.
