You lost me in that one.

If there is a zfs filesystem at the recipient...  and you don't want to
receive into a subdirectory of it ... then you have to overwrite it.  And I
don't see any reason not to overwrite it.

You say the destination filesystem mustn't exist prior to receive...  But
did you know of the -F option?  It forces the overwrite, if you want to
receive and overwrite an existing filesystem.

What am I missing?  Or did I just answer it?
