I considered reusing the value from the HTML exporter, but I rejected it, because the org-html-toplevel-hlevel defaults to 2. Reusing it would alter the existing default behavior for markdown exports, which I thought was undesirable. If you think it's okay to alter the existing behavior of Markdown exports, I could change the code to use org-html-toplevel-hlevel to control the top level heading level of both HTML and markdown exports.
