I worry that justifying the desire for a life outside of work in terms of "productivity" already concedes too much.
Even if my short-week productivity doesn't match my 80-hour week productivity, I'll still prefer the short week, with no guilt over having those preferences. My goal in life is not to optimize everything I do for maximum benefit of my employer; I have my own priorities and trade-offs to worry about.

That really is the argument you need to make: Can you get enough done in a week to be worth your salary and benefits? If so, then an employer should be willing to pay you appropriately for that amount of time.
