They reduce the urban heat island effect a ton by casting shade

Its more than just shade! Trees create extra cooling effect by using the suns energy and from the water evaporating from their leaves. Thats why you won't burn your feet on grass but an equally dark pavement burns your feet. Tree > umbrella in terms of heat mitigation.
