While I agree with you, this change was in response to the call for "the finals and the qualifiers to be the same game". While I never really had a problem with the way they were run before, it seems that a lot of people did, and so here we are.
What this does do is open up some interesting (some might say slightly weaselly) strategy options. Most notably, if you're going to lose, get off the ramp, knock over your own boxes, do whatever to bring the overall score down, to give the winning alliance as few points as possible, because every point that you earn means you have to make up another point in the next round.
Of course, the classic, "win every elimination round match" strategy still works, and that's what we'll concentrate on doing, natch.
