   Even such a small trace would have been checked by someone.

   It's better to at least start the long and comlicated evacuation   
   process and then later decide to stop, rather than wait for something   
   bigger to arrive and then be too late to get away.

   The Rebel pilots were trying to distract and slow down the AT-ATs from   
   reaching the Rebel base to give the evacuation more time - they knew   
   they stood little chance against the AT-ATs. Coming from the front   
   means the AT-AT crews would hopefully decide to get rid of the   
   attacking Snowspeeders first, hence taking longer to reach the base   
   itself.

   With the AT-AT on it's "knees" the weak point was much easier to target   
   and hit, rather than trying to hit it in a moving target with head and   
   legs constantly getting in the way.

   I think the medic droid did get evacuated. I think there's an EU story   
   about it somewhere.

   Only the ones not making enough money from the nerfs to buy better   
   clothes and haircuts.  ;-)
