Heretic email opinion: top-posting is a perfectly sensible and natural thing to do. It optimizes for people who need no context while gradually providing more and more context as you scroll down.
You can argue that email clients should provide access to this context of previous emails themselves somehow, without needing it inline in the message, but we handle email with the tools we have. And inline quoting through top-posting works for absolutely all mail clients.
