It's not a silly point. I mean that as-is, there is no reason not to play the strongest card at every CMC. There is never a scenario where you would play a weak spell that costs 2(U) over a better card that costs 1(U)(U). Unless you're in four or more colors, the extra pip is essentially flavor text.
By polluting your manabase with colorless mana, suddenly there is a reason to play Angel of Light occasionally instead of Serra Angel. Maybe you are playing a control deck, and the slightly longer clock is less relevant than the possibility of missing WW because you drew some Wastes. This adds more depth, not less.
