The daily reduction has nothing to do with whether you play or not.

Rules said:
5) Daily reduction: a small amount is reduced from the top player's ranking.
To prevent player's simply retiring when they are top of the rankings a small amount is chopped of their ranking daily.

The rule is a 1 point drop for any user with a ranking over 925.0, a 0.75 point drop for any user with a ranking over 900.0, a 0.50 point drop for any user with a ranking over 850.0 and a 0.25 drop for users with a ranking over 800.0.

keep playing then......its to encourage users, not to retire on a high rank and then create another name and do the same over and over again.
Lets say, for example I reached Rank 900 and was consistenly good(in my dreams lol)
Then decided to 'Retire' and came in under a new name as a newbie and ranked 675, Then, for example, someone like yourself halflife played me, but you didnt know it was me, as i had a new name and newbie status, i then beat you in some games, that would then be unfair on you (or anyone else for that matter)

I've always thought of a break at 900 like there is at 800. Means it freezes there and really good players can relax a little!

Remember when the high scores were filled with players on 850.0 rating?

The daily reductions have stopped this.

Thats the reason, thats the effect, cant really complain about them.

Why should inactive player be effectively rated better than those playing everyday?

The system was introduced to prevent the problem you are suggesting to recreate!

not suggesting anything except the "holiday mode" this can simply set yur account to inactive for a period of time say a week? which would prevent people who are on holiday to lose their rank .. ye it wont do alot other will still beat them however atleast they can keep their rank ? instead of losing it because of a holiday.. seriously you can ask around funkypool im sure they would love this feature
