It's a shame that the binning modes don't downsample, hence the ugly aliasing

I'm not seeing any "ugly aliasing"

The trees have buds on the small branches which can look like jaggies. They actually look like that.

Now, if you view the images at over 100% then you will see aliasing which is normal when looking as something beyond 100%

Look at the low resolution at 200 or 400%. Then you easily see the aliasing cinefeel talks about. With a good monitor and good young eyes it should also be visible at 100%.

Personally I would prefer to use high resolution mode and then downscale with a serious method in Photoshop.

Yes, but do some serious downscaling instead and you will get a low resolution without aliasing.

For Landscape work, you are absolutely correct. There would be no reason to use the lower resolution modes.

Where the lower res modes are useful in the SD1 is when you need that extra frame per second and the 14 shot buffer versus the 7 shot buffer.

I'll echo that for all kinds of work. Gather as much data as you can so you have the most flexibility when processing.

The only thing that might force me to lower the resolution would be action that was out-pacing the buffer causing me to miss shots. So far, it hasn't happened, I hope it doesn't.
