Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration and is not below the minimum power required for the approach.

It takes seconds to read a checklist, maybe it should have been done earlier but to go around for that reason
RTFQ!!
Checklist done by 1000ft is a requirement. Whether it's a stupid requirement, as you suggest, or not, is not what we're discussing here. Meatlover's just setting out on his big jet flying and you're on here urging people to ignore the rules. Quick way to be shown the door (and prang, of course).
