That may be so, but if it is valid, it would have to predict

QED has a broader field of applicability than Maxwell,
it predicts some phenomena Maxwell doesn't.

So it is OK to consider light to be a wave according to Maxwell
in some cases. So if you are designing a radio link, Maxwell
is the theory to use,

QED can predict that a LED will emit light.
Maxwell can't.

Well, no. Because frequency is a property of waves and it is differences
in frequencies (involving differences in energy levels) that result in
the photoelectric effect it is waves that produce this effect. It does
not require light to be a particle at all.
