If I were familiar with the airport, I would advise that I am unable to
accept a clearance direct to an intermediate fix. I'd request direct to
an IAF or vectors.

Why are you unable to go direct to an intermediate fix in a radar
environment? Looking at http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0501/05049I5.PDF, it
seems to me that going direct MONDI puts you right where you want to be to
get vectored onto the ILS. So, would "direct MONDI, expect vectors to the
ILS final approach course" have made you any happier?
