Heel and toe isn't necessary for daily driving. The reason people should do it is for performance driving. You want to be at a HIGH RPM (aka in the powerband) before entering a corner after braking which is the whole purpose of having to hit the throttle while braking and clutching.

I might be wrong, but for daily driving, you can even just put it into a lower gear after braking without any throttle input as long as you slowed down enough where your RPM will be between 1-2k after you shift into the gear you want. Just let off the clutch smoothly and the engine and transmission will match the speed. It's somewhat similar to upshifting in that you don't hit the throttle when shifting.
