The 2 engine, manually flown missed approach is one of the most mis-flown procedures. How often do you practise one? A single engine go-around would probably come as second nature due to the number of times you encounter one in the sim.

Utilising both AP for approach frees up capacity should you have to go around two-engine. It's not about showing how awesome a pilot you are, it's about flying the procedure safely should you have to.
