There's a question of course about why we're not using legged machines but I think you're way over-thinking this. Strandbeests are just a cool and beautiful art project and there is no more justification that they need than that. Art has a utility all of its own without having to inspire engineering works. Besides which strandbeests are made of plastic tubing which kiind of weakens your argument about environmental friendliness.
