I always remember it as "whatever" and it appears in one of your translation above, but it's not formally given as an usage, and neither it is in Pleco. Is it for some grammatical reason as "whatever" is a pronoun while 随便 would be an adverb or adjective?

No idea, but it's certainly used in the way you describe.
