But WordPress.org is not aware of it and still allows everyone to download 1.0.0 by default:
That's because in your trunk/readme.txt you still point to the 1.0 which automatically instructs WP.org to zip and distribute the tags/1.0.0.
To make the 1.0.1 release go live and instruct WP.org to use tags/1.0.1 as the source of the zip you need to update in trunk/readme.txt the Stable tag: 1.0 to Stable tag: 1.0.1. Just creating a new directory inside SVN tags/ is not enough
And you will need to do this step for each and every release.
Basically, your trunk/* can always be the same as the latest tag you want to release. And for each release, you need to manually increment the Stable tag: X.X.X value inside the readme.txt.
You can leave in trunk/ only one readme.txt file and remove all the rest (and still update it and increment the Stable tag for each release), but I find it easier to just copy the release-prepared code to both tags/X.X.X and trunk/.
I see that you made a release 1.0.1:
