"git_default_email" must take precedence, because that's the one that is filled in by the config file syntax. So just use [user] name = .. email = .. and be happy. Only in the absense of that will git start guessing, and yeah, it will not generally use EMAIL, unless it cannot get anything at all from username/hostname. If you want it to prefer $EMAIL, you'd need to change the initialization of git_default_email, methinks.
