>It's easier to assume that the game isn't giving you false information
It didn't lie to you, you made an assumption based on an ambiguously meaningful line in Chapter 1 which plays on your expectations from Undertale from start to finish
>I think Susie bleeding is explained more easily by her being half-human
There's zero indication that such a thing is possible and plenty of reason to think it wouldn't be.
What we do know is that Susie is stated to be a monster and bleeds when she is cut.
>rather than some arbitrary rule that makes it so that deltarune monsters do bleed but also fall down and turn into dust.
There's no evidence that monsters in Deltarune "fall down" either. That term hasn't been mentioned once, and every monster known to have "fallen down" in Undertale is either already dead or suffering from some mundane illness like Rudy.
Every change in "the rules" between Undertale and Deltarune is arbitrary and we already know that they have been changed, because we know that Deltarune monsters have Determination. We know this because we're told it by Queen, it goes unchallenged by Ralsei or anyone else who would know, and we see and know that monsters can perform an action that requires Determination (creating a Dark Fountain) without melting as they would if they were made of dust and magic like Undertale.
The alternative to "monsters bleed but turn to dust anyway" is that the "dust" in Deltarune is just a euphemism for cremation ashes, but that just seems like a cheap trick and I'd rather have "they still turn to dust because Toby knows it's a cool idea."

>since you'd have to explain why only some monsters bleed
Monsters that ought to bleed bleed, like dragons and skeletons.
Monsters that wouldn't bleed don't, like ghosts or fire elementals.
