The various parts of Rule 8 refer to the pitcher throwing to a base, NOT to the player covering the base.
As you MUST throw to first, the throw must be to the base.
For bases other than first base, the interpretation/logic is that, as you are not required to throw to begin with the throw, if made, does not have to be to the base.
