I agree.

But the declaration, xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
generated in the output XML is not being used anywhere (i.e., there is
no reference to the xs: prefix in the generated XML).

Shouldn't the processor be more intelligent to avoid generating any
namespace declarations which are used nowhere in the output?

Probably this could be a minor enhancement request for Saxon :)
