All you need to do is watch a new rider who has always used clipless pedals bunny hop by pulling up on the pedals to see what skills I'm talking about. Learning how to bunnyhop and get on/over obstacles smoothly is a key aspect of riding that you best master using flats - and that skill translates directly to riding clipless.
It's a skill that needs to learned if that rider expects to improve their technical riding. I think we're in agreement that mastering these skills is good for all kinds of riders.
