In addition to already said, not always you can find wished tire model in both sizes, and selling off later staggered set is harder, as way less people may consider it.
Friend of mine that has car with stock staggered wheel setup said it was more of PITA. Hence i don't get why choose worse alternative on car where you don't have to.
And yes, that dealer is full of crap if he advises worse choices. Or you have asked him wrong questions. Like "what wheel size i need to get those concave looks", instead of "which wheels would work best on this car".
In most cases when staggered setup is chosen for twins it's by someone from arguable looks crowd, that think that choosing wheel and tire from different but more expensive car will be better on this too and/or when they try to mount absolute widest wheels & tires they can fit (in rear you can fit a bit wider). It's their choice, their car, their money, if they chose it they are free to and it's their willing choice to sacrifice some things like performance/handling to pay for that. Except one should't fool oneself or others that it's for sake of better performance. You can fit staggered setup too. I didn't notice written that you do track days, but you mentioned looks. So if specific looks are your kind of bread - why not? At a cost though.
