Just get used to the car and you'll know exactly when to shift by experience, feel, sound and definitley without having to look at the dash.

I understand your point for cars (like my old Ford Taurus) that told you when to upshift based on engine load, throttle position, etc... those are annoying babysitters.
However, the Z shift light is a proper shift light, in that it only comes on to let you know when you are nearing redline. The flashing light allows you to rev to redline every time on the track without having to look down at the tach.
Since most race cars have essentially the same feature, or even a whole set of lights that light up as you approach redline, I don't think Nissan is making presumptions about anyone's lack of driving chops.
