In that case some of your arguments for a lv1 human bonus feat costing 1 RP don't hold up, since you could later retrain it into something useful.

The bonus feat racial specifies that it has to be one you qualify for at 1st level.

In Pathfinder terms, it means you couldn't retrain it to something like Dazing Assault, or Spell Perfection, because you can't qualify for those at 1st level.

EDIT: More specifically, the retraining rules would need to be written to avoid any sort of obvious exploits, such as trading in all your low level class features for high level class features. Which, incidentally, would ring true for feats as well. For example, if you had to be level 11 to qualify for a couple of things (such as how some PF Barbarian rage powers have level requirements), retraining a feat or class feature to use a low level resource to pick up extra high level resources might be a problem.

EDIT 2: For a further example, the way Pathfinder's retraining rules work, there are some colorful tricks you can do with it, such as ending up as a character than has no base classes and nothing but prestige classes. For example, Arcane Archer grants martial weapon proficiency and you choose what sort of spellcasting you advance as with the class when you take it, you can go into Arcane Archer, then Eldritch Knight, and then retrain out of Wizard and whatever base classes you were while still meeting the requirements for both Arcane Archer and Eldritch Knight, allowing you to go 10/10 AA/EK, which is something that's impossible to do without retraining.
