I couldn't agree with you more about the arrival time.
My colleagues often think me a little strange chasing daylight flights, including east bound TATL. I also used to fly on the Thursday (or was it Friday?) QF LAX SYD daylight-ish flight in the past.
For economy passengers it could be a bonus as well given that sleep in Y is near on impossible, but good seat selection and good IFE could help pass by the v.long day with the occassional siesta.

Also, being one of the 1st 3 departures in the morning ( QF and DJ both have 06:00 deomestic departures) there is unlikely to be any delay getting to the runway with other aeroplanes departing

Another couple of bonus points about the departure time,
