If you are trying to use the minimum runway why would you want to accelerate all that weight from a dead stop, when you can have full thrust and 10-20 knots already 'in the bag' at roughly the same point.
You don't need to make a Formula one turn onto the runway either and you certainly don't need '1000 feet' to line up.
The difference in runway used to line up is minimal (if you do it right) and most modern engines are at full chat in seconds.
It's a different matter when ATC 'forces' you into position and hold on a limiting runway.Then I would set full power before releasing the brakes (or start the roll when they cannot hold the aircraft any longer)
Whichever technique you decide to use choose one ! I have sat in the back on the runway as power is increased while the brakes are dragging with the aircraft in motion for hundreds of feet !
Not exactly sure what they were trying to do but that is definitely the worst of both worlds
