So yeah, I don't NEED 310s - but it seems like a stupid waste not to raise my overall light by 1.5 points before decrypting those engrams, because if I don't, I lose 20 points per.

I'm not going to call it a mistake, because anything over 301 seems to not matter (unless if has some kind of measurable effect on Iron banner / Trials). However, it does fall in to the trap that they wanted to avoid of having people be stuck unless they get raid drops, and you have large jumps in benefit for just a few light points. From 299 to 300 is a huge deal if you can now get 310 exotics. The chance to get 310 should be granular, not on/off. My arms and chest pieces are still stuck at 296/297 because I have not gotten much armor from the Raid.

I think the fact that nightfall rewards are not automatically 300+ is absolutely insane. Making that so would provide a way for non raiders to advance a bit. Right now, unless you want the actual challenge of the modifiers, nightfall rewards are complete garbage.
