That was how the Stargate show did it. If it is possible to
build a gate on the surface, why bother to put it in orbit?

- Safety/Quarantine. But with plenty of worlds, why not put
  your quarantine station on another planet?
- Cargo handling. What happens to a wheeled vehicle if one 
  half is through the gate and the other half isn't? Zero-G
  could be helpful.

With plenty of habitable worlds to choose from (the case in 
Stargate), why bother with inhabitable ones?

Only if the system requires relays.

Hamilton probably had it right -- if you want to move high 
amounts of cargo, use trains.
