Why is it reasonable for officers to arrest suspects for a misdemeanor?

This depends on the type of misdemeanors. Some states have minor misdemeanors which cover moving violations and some minor criminal infractions. Generally, officers will not physically seize (arrest) a person for minor misdemeanors. It would be a waste of the courts and officers time to book citizens and arraign citizens for a charge or citation in which they'll be immediately released without a bond (O.R. or Own Recognizance). Now, there are typically 1st-3rd (and sometimes 4th) degree or class misdemeanors. Class "A" or 1st Degree being the most serious (Domestic Violence, Aggravated Assault, Aggravated Menacing) types of crimes. These are generally higher level crimes that some how caused harm or were intending to cause harm. It's for the victim and suspects safety that they be incarcerated until the judge determines their suitable for bond.

What does the quote 'high crimes and misdemeanors' mean?

The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct that do not fall under a more clearly defined impeachable offence; e.g., high treason. This charge occurs only in cases of parliamentary impeachment and is unrelated to any offence in criminal law. High crimes and misdemeanors is a phrase from the United States Constitution, Article II, Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
