Why should email assume fixed IP addresses for email delivery, or rather, matching PTR and MX records ?

Because spammers target home users with broadband connections, and try to crack their systems to use them as open relays. As a result, some ISPs have taken this step; they figure you can always send mail via your ISP's SMTP server. Yes, it's dain-bramaged.
