Do not change the title in calibre to include series information. That's what the series column is for. But you can set things up so that when you send the books to (say) your Kindle, the series number automatically gets included in the title metadata of the copy that's sent to your Kindle. This, IMO, is the best of both worlds - your calibre database is clean, but you can see the series info easily on your Kindle.
Preferences/Metadata plugboards
I have it set for any format being sent to my Kindle to have
{series}{series_index:0>2s| |:}{title}
set in the title and title_sort fields.
So on my kindle, books show up with the series name and number in the title, followed by the individual book title.
