I have something to be dumped in -4 z-level,
I have an active garbage dumping zone a few tiles to the "something"'s right and up, and another active garbage dumping zone a few tiles to the "something"'s left
I have an active garbage dumping zone in the 0 z-level, precisely above the "something"'s location.

The dwarfs will choose to go dump the "something" in the 0 z-level, which is very far away since the stairs are not near-by, instead of the two near dumping zones.

This is a known issue, and applies to a lot of pathfinding situations. Dwarves do not consider the path distance when choosing a destination; only the straight-line distance is considered.

Yea, the pathfinding is not always logical.

In this version, always make your stairs VERY frequent and accessible.  Dwarves expect them to be everywhere.
