Yes, the strategic consequences of retreat seem to be the reason that it was removed. People would use it to get through blockades, and it was too tedious to chase down unarmed ships like colonizers.
But my idea would make it easy to chase down colonizers, because they're almost always slower than warships. Even if they were faster, they'd run out of fuel if they kept retreating. As far as getting through blockades, that could be handled easily by moving attackers who retreated back to the (strategic) square from which they came. And they would lose supplies as well, which are usually more precious to attackers than defenders.
