A female can never be marshal (well without a mod), so is there a reason to send her to receive training at court? Wouldn't it always be batter to trade that one point of martial for the two points of diplomacy at a monastery? Even if her diplomacy is terrible, it's still more useful than a martial skill she can't use.

Not really. Court ladies have a higher chance of turning into amazing stewards and spymasters.
It also matters if you end up having her hold a court position. If she's a good steward with a diplomacy of 7 or higher, she can positively influence children at court with court education. If she has the same stats, but has an ecclesiastical education, she can't do that.
Why would you ever give a girl an ecclesiastical education?
The only times I do that are if the character is my heir and I want a balanced ruler, I want a few bishops, or the character is heathen. As a girl is never going to be my heir and can't be a bishop I might as well give her a court education as there is a greater chance of boosting a single stat.

I always send my female children to court education, I've gotten some good 20+ stewardship stat characters like that, and spies too. That way I can send more men to the military and the church since those are the only positions they'll need to fill.
The different education choices do not only just give them the education and stat boni that are stated when you select it, they also govern some of the event that fire during the education. Someone once tested this, and I think that if you want a diplomat, then you should give them an ecclesiastical education, as that gives better events for getting high Diplomacy values. While court education gives better chances at getting high Stewardship and Intrigue scores. This is of course not a given, but chances of getting a 14 DIP courtier is higher under Ecclesiastical education, than getting one under court education.
I am disappointed there is no option to send your daughters to the kitchen to learn to cook.
