I have never encountered that phrase meant literally. As far as I have experienced it, it has always meant "leave"...

But the phrase itself does mean “kys” more than just “leave”. It’s not that the people saying it literally want the person to go to a pier and jump off, but it is basically “fuck off and die”. And that does mean that the person using it wants the person they’re talking to to leave, but that specific phrase can’t be separated from telling someone to die, so it can’t mean just “leave” unless the person saying it is ignorant about what the phrase means. Some who use it don’t know that, and do use to it to just mean “fuck off”, but that’s not what it means. People should use a different way of saying GTFO as a result, if that’s all they want to say.

I'm with everyone who's saying it's aggressive, but where I've heard it used it still shades closer to grouchy than wishing death on the other person. "Long walk, short pier" is the angrier cousin of "go jump in a lake." It doesn't automatically have the implication "I hope you drown." Though it does mean "your behavior has offended me, and I want something bad to happen to you."

It did seem to originally mean something more like “I hope you die”. I even looked it up, because I was starting to doubt myself, and I did find some evidence of that. It is a synonym for other phrases that don’t have a wish for death, which is notable, but that part is still implied sometimes.

I thought that it might have changed in definition with time, and found mixed results for that. Urban Dictionary says it means “go die”, but also says it means to just “shut up”. So it indeed seems like some people changed it so that falling in the water doesn’t necessarily mean drowning, like you said.

Then I wanna know where you live because whenever I've been told to because I'm queer, it's people wanting me fucking dead. To the point there's even a quest in Silent Hill Downpour where the phrase is involved. It's ALWAYS, in my experience, been a way to say, "Shut up and die already."
