Make-work programs in the cockpit can possibly distract and only add minutia to the job. By creating non essential busy work items to your environment only adds to ones workload.
I do find it frustrating when some folks treat and train there habits and personnel technique as operational procedures.
The advent of automation technology should minimize button pushing, helping enhance your focus of the golden three.
With that said..... it is really no big deal and if pushing lots of buttons help you feel more like a pilot then go for it.
