I've noticed in Monster Manual that creatures large, huge and bigger do more damage with weapons. Are there any scale rules for this yet? I haven't found any except the ones in Enlarge/Reduce spell, but those doesn't match damage in MM.

Not yet.  Though i expect it in the DMG.

I could have sworn that the MM states to add one instance of weapon damage per size above Medium (so usually one die, but a 2d6 weapon would add 2d6 per size change).

So what would a rock's damage be if thrown by a Tarrasque?

The book doesn't explicitly state the increase in damage, but Mike Mearls did say via a tweet that adding the weapon's damage again for each size category above medium is how it works.

I thought giving such people the benefit of a clear, concise summary before this thread fills with the argument again was better than laughing at your joke (not that I didn't find it amusing).
