Still wondering why you are wiping post flash? I've never done it (with one exception for the kernel reason I mentioned)
The app location is chef's preference, I've seen it OMJ's way and with everything in /system/app.
Apps being in /data/app make them easier to remove...as you've discovered 
If you mount system as writable
adb remount
you could move everything over to /system/app and feel confident to wipe your brains out. |
"Feel confident to wipe your brains out" - LOL
I do post flash wiping because of a habit from windows flashing. Even after flashing a new rom, it is possible that some junk from the previous rom still lurking around so it was suggested to wipe after the flash as well. I have been doing it ever since. I moved over to android (as you can tell, still a noob) and I continue the same practice.
If it's not necessary, I can save myself a step.
