I know what you mean...I prefer to do this as long as I am not on any kind of incline. The 1st - 2nd shift happens so quickly that it's a bit frustrating, especially since it is so jerky. I am able to get my clutch out about as quickly as I could in 1st so I do not personally see a reason why this is that bad. I would expect this to wear out the clutch quicker (as opposed to slower or the same), but if you are doing it properly the extra wear should be marginal.
