For once, I actually agree with most of your points, but this is the one I do not agree with. A chapter heading space is in fact very subjective.
I personally find 10%-30% top margin for a chapter heading pleasing to the eye, and helps emphasize a new chapter. I do not consider it "waste of space".
Believe it or not, some of us actually like a bit of white space when reading, despite the fact that the Gospel of Jon states "Thou shalt not include any whitespace in a book..."
