I agree. 4k is overkill. However, if you have the $$$ then go ahead, it's always better to have higher resolution.
Even if you view the 4k video on a 2k display, it will still be better quality than 2k video. Then again, the video quality to see things like number plates is not only dictated by video resolution alone. The quality of the lens and sensor also play a very important role in it.
That means I would rather go for good quality carl zeiss lens and sony imx sensor with 1k video compared to another camera that can take 4k video but uses some unknown lens and sensor.
Don't think there is any dashcam using Carl Zeiss lens Sony IMX sensor got.Even if you view the 4k video on a 2k display, it will still be better quality than 2k video.

Also, night video will depend on the condition of the environment also while driving. Not just the lens and sensors.
