I've seen a note somewhere that trains starting at Highbury won't run to
New Cross, only to New Cross Gate and beyond - you have to change to a
train starting at Dalston for New Cross. Is this right and why?

It would be difficult if not impossible to run the full ELL service
using just two terminal platforms at H&I - hence the bays at Dalston.
As people from H&I are much more likely to want trains along the West
Croydon/Crystal Palace branch than New Cross, the fewest people are
inconvenienced by having to change trains.
