Just because you wouldn't use it, does not mean it is pointless. I personally prefer high resolution textures.
No its pointless b/c look at the size of the block the textures actually get applied to.
The size of a block on my screen varies depending on how close I am standing to it. While mining, the blocks are large enough that I can see the individual pixels of a block with a 256x256 texture pack applied.
I would agree that using a texture pack larger than 2048x2048 on a 1920x1080 screen would be pointless, but there is definitely nothing wrong with 1024x1024 on a 1920x1080 screen.
Do you already know how to install someone else's texture pack? If so, just take someone else's texture pack, right-click on it, and choose something like "open with unarchive utility". (I don't remember the name of it exactly.)
Now there will be a folder with the name of that texture pack. Edit all of these pictures until they are just how you like them.
When you are done, select all of the files in that texture pack's folder that you would like to include, then right-click one of them and choose something like "create archive" or "compress to archive."
This compress file will be called "Archive.zip". This is your new texture pack. Use MCPatcher to install it.
Just in case you don't realize, with the chainsaw and the jackhammer, the animation will still be you just swinging them back and forth when you use them. In case you didn't already know, I thought you would want to know this.
Then, I guess you would, as you said, degrade each type of material at different rates (Cobblestone should degrade either completely, or turn into Mossy Cobblestone), and suchlike.
Cobblestone into Mossy Cobblestone
Mossy Cobblestone into sand
Diamonds shouldn't erode
TV tells me diamonds are forever
What about buildings made of stone? Should stone erode?

Please consider support for 1024x1024 textures.
Thank you.

Wood planks are slowly eaten by termites
Glass breaks
Sandstone crumbles into sand
redstone dust blows away?
torches burn out
mobs fill the ruins of rotten buildings
