You make very good points, Duncan, and you've achieved what is generally a rare thing: changing my opinion on something involving storytelling. When I think about it now, the "A hero's work is never done" point would have been a very fitting ending to the series, keeping very much in the spirit of the series. You are also more qualified than I, because I've never played QFG5; I know only what I've read from various interviews and news sources. The only other argument I can make for #5's existence is the one about it being planned as originally part of the series, as the fourth entry. It seemed clear from the first game that they were planning to include a dragon as a big, big threat from the entry in the manual (Dragon: Avoid at all costs), which was one of the the only things they hadn't followed up on by #4, the other being the oft-mentioned but never-shown realm of Silmaria (mentioned in every manual).
