Try moving the light switch from Auto to the low beam setting before you shut off the engine. Then exit your RX and lock it with your remote verifying that your headlights turned off. (You might have to press the lock button on the remote twice.) Remote start your RX and see if the headlights turn on. This works on a particular Toyota with remote start but maybe it won't on an RX.
I doubt it. Probably not a great idea to draw that attention.
Almost every other car does it with remote start, not anything new. It gives a visual indication that your car is started. Also, i like that if my wife has to park in a dark parking lot/garage then she feels a little safer with the car's lights on as she walks to it.

I get your point, but that could be a two-edged sword, as mikemu pointed out earlier.
