If the goal is smooth and quick shifts, than yes that extra step does take time and smoothness away from the process. The whole point of a heel and toe when driving is to match the engine speed to transmission speed for the gear I'm moving into. The clutch must be released at the precise moment the engine reaches that speed. What you are talking about is double clutching. It is necessary in older non-syncro crash boxes to blip the throttle in neutral. Today in a modern car, it's not needed, nor will it trash a gear box, it may be easier on the syncros, but it's not necessary...nor is it a recipe for quick/smooth shifts...
