It would be nice to be able to set the alias of new field being calculated using Calculate Field. It would save time by not having to go to Fields View afterwards

What you suggest only makes sense if the field does not exist and is being created. Then there should be an option to set the alias.  You could of cause create a simple model and chain the calculate tool to an Alter Field tool and create yourself a model tool, this would avoid having to enter the Field View panel.
