This is typical Delta.. they have little concern for the comfort of their passengers. Realistically the only option is to avoid using them.
Your title is misleading though. There is no mention of flying dangerously low in the text of your message and there is nothing inherently unsafe about flying lower than normal. The FAA would not allow the aircraft to fly "dangerously low" and there are strict regulations relating to whether a flight can go with mechanical defects. There is no one with a bigger interest in flight safety than the crew.
Flying at higher altitudes is done for fuel economy and comfort as you are able to fly above the weather. It is not a safety issue.
