When you set them massively higher than they need to be, it does exactly as you describe: every time you click the button it slams everything and kicks you in the butt. You're just causing excess wear all over your drivetrain, and more importantly for track stuff, you're upsetting the balance of the car. The last thing you want while upshifting out of a corner and still pushing to the side a bit is to suddenly shock the drivetrain and rear wheels. It may feel "faster", but the quick, smooth engage at a lower torque map value is better.
