I mean, that argument can be applied against Star Trek too, they always send an armed warship to make first contact.

They don’t go in with guns/phasers ready, heck most of the times they don’t even raise shields beforehand.

And they have a whole protocol and rules for this:

Before engaging alien species in battle, any and all attempts to make first contact and achieve non-military resolution must be made

  Which is the same thing SG-1 did, make peaceful contact with weapons for defense.
  
  Even with shields down a federation starship is still a very capable warship.
