It is not so much unnecessary, bot more that there are sometimes merits to things. A lot of these things will actually not break rendering or functionality. They will only cause that when used incorrectly.
For example inline styling can be fine to use in some cases. It can be that a standard stylesheet will not apply and you only have usage for 1 or 2 styles. Of course you can create a new/additional stylesheet, but if it is only for one page I would not mind an inline style.
In general the cases you describe are valid and true, but not always. A few margins (page margins) can be in pt instead of em or percentages. I only create a small margin around my pages and I would not them to scale with font-size.

It can break, because some readers will ignore the empty line if it is <p></p> or <p><br /></p>. However, all readers I know will honor <p> </p>. I know it is not always pretty or the best way to do it, but it will not break.
