Whatever wear and tear downshifting will do to your clutch is negligible. Not doing it might add a week to the life of your clutch which after a couple hundred thousand miles is nothing. Same goes for the bottom end for whoever mentioned that. I'll happily compromise a tiny amount of wear and tear for good driving practices any day, but each to their own I guess
