I could care little about privacy concern, but I would rather wait a couple of seconds than waste bandwidth downloading pages that I would most likely never look at. Also from web developer point of view, I would like to see how any given site loads under standard use case anyway.

Google is only preloading the top result when it is confident the top result is what you are looking for. If Google does a good enough job then only a small % of preloads will go unviewed.
