Yes, it is completely out of place thematically.

If the devs want the class to be able to better resist magic damage, give it a stacking resistance to poison/fire/cold/elec/acid that increases every 4 alchemist levels and tops out at, say 25%.

This way they don't get damage reduction against spinning blades (wha?) but do get reduction from dot damage (which evasion does not give).
