Thank you for all of the information. The third option you were talking about is what I am planning to do unless somebody decides to sell their 150-155 mm rotors here or on eBay. I think 160mm won't solve the problem since by many calculating options I score 153mm recommended crankarm lenght so I am left with either the rarest of options or drilling a hole. Apparently when I ride I am reaching the lower crankarm hence the extreme toe down and my other leg is bent so much it makes a very unhealthy angle. I am rocking on a saddle like crazy. This is why the following noted by @clipon wouldn't work but even make things worse .
Easy option might be pedals with a higher stack height and shoe inserts

Morning,
the kids track bikes I used to look after at Meadowbank Velodrome had 155mm cranks on the small ones made by Miche and they still do the Miche "Young" range of chain sets
Paul Milne Cycles is advertising short crank chain sets by PMC Lasco, Alloy Short Kids Crankset Cranks 155mm 165mm 145mm on Ebay but they are 110 BCD .
I don't think you will get 144 BCD cranks shorter than 160mm as a regular items.
An option would be to cut down a suitable set of cranks and drill and tap the pedal spindle holes at the length you need. Some crank sets like the one in the image look quite suitable for that modification.
Good luck, the correct fit on a track bike is every thing ...
