But the issue still stands that this "rare" incident still occurred over the past year when I did first press the clutch all the way down.

Maybe I'm creating false issues in my mind. I don't know...
No the clutch is meant to be pushed all the way to the floor.

The only time it is bad is if you are holding it down for an extended period of time. Like sitting at a stop light with the car in 1st gear waiting for the light to change. That will cause excess and unnecessary wear and tear on the throw out bearing and fork over time.
