Not sure why the intermediate fix matters too much as you would be flying in FPA?
Looked at the Jepp chart. ILS/LOC 28L SFO has a fixed that between the FAF and the Runway that is Noted as to only apply to the LOC. If you line selected the ILS you will not have that fix. I don't speak Airbus so I don't know about your FPA being sufficient to disregard fixes on charted approaches.
