I think that you are making to big of a deal out of it. I personally don't have a problem with ground control clearing me to J1 or J9, as long as it facilitates a more expeditious departure for either my aircraft or someone else. The aim of the game is to get everyone off the ground and into the air ASAP.
What the big deal if when you are approaching the Holding point and traffic is not a problem, the tower controller clearing you to a different Holding point. Happens is a lot of major airports around the world.
