It does matter its another measure of your performance if your tracking it.
Its no different to your individual rows, your distance is related to the pace you can maintain. The annual meters is just a sum of all your rows.If you don't care about it then you also don't care about your individual rows and improving your times or ranking anything. Its quite a useful summary of you annual performance, it actually appears on your LogCard summary if you look, problem is the logcard doesn't hold a years worth of rows for me so you have to do the math using the concept 2 pace calculator.
Yes you can tweak it if you don't upload your cool downs or warm ups but again its a distance/pace trade off. My cool downs are included and are rowed at a pace that is too slow but if your rowing online you need to pick a pace that most people can join and just make it fun by trying to hit exactly 2:15.0 splits. Rowing at 2:05 for a CD would be better, the average for the year would then drop sub 2:00 pace.
Rowing online changes things a little as you discover only roughly 50% of people can row a 30 minute faster that 2:00 pace so trying to get a CD to suit nearly everyone is hard.
Yes it would be great if Concept 2 recorded more information, this would actually be great for a more in depth comparison and building a data base that could be used to develop a fitness test on the erg that scored you based on age, sex, height and weight.
Yeh, I know, must also take 30" inactive to recharge the alactic battery. But very good point. Pete Plan addicts, with their luxurious rest periods, are really takng a hit. Not good to sit on the erg doing nothing. 
Carl currently not doing interval work. Bloody genius!
