I don't know TFS, but isn't it possible to just use the ALM tools for project management and keep using mercurial, git, svn or whatever else you prefer as VCS?
Is the link between the two really required?

It's not required, but when you check code into TFS, you can associate it to a backlog task in the UI. You'd miss that.

Correct. I used Mercurial with Redmine and you could tag your checkins with special text "closes #39" for example. It's quite a bit more cumbersome than having a filtered query alongside your checkin dialog that you can just tick a checkbox. Especially when your development team has a, let's say, mix of skill levels.

Most project management tools support this feature these days (JIRA, FogBugz). Association between commits and ticket/bugs/features/etc.
I believe some of them even gone further by providing a RELEASE.txt type of output if you follow their preferred way of handling releases/versioning/milestone.
