I know too little about stands and issues. Tilden probably deserved to win, though...

Hayes was a simple president who won by one electoral vote.

What do you mean by simple? He probably cheated his way to that election victory.

That was one very good thing, yes.  I'd say anti-trust was the beginning of the end of economic freedom in the USA.

Hayes was an uneventful president. One term.

He was the first in a line of uneventful presidents, therefore that gives him status.

How come Grover Cleveland gets no credit for winning the popular vote in a record three elections, of the time. I know Tilden/Hayes was an extreme case, and Gore/Bush was recent and the parties now mean something, but Cleveland/Harrison in 1888 gets unremembered.

I remember it. Smiley The weird thing is that Cleveland actually increased his number of votes in his reelection campaign while losing EVs, going from 48.50% and 219 EVs to 48.62% and 168 EVs, losing New York and Indiana.

Hayes. Tilden was a good man but wanted to end Reconstruction, while Hayes was a Civil War veteran who was pro-Reconstruction (though eventually he had to end it as a condition of Democrats agreeing to make him president), and that's what eventually decides things. If reconstruction wasn't an issue, then probably Tilden.
