It is, indeed, practice, and of the sort to which I can definitely relate as I keep adding words to this flash fic and then figuring out what needs to be cut. YAY for words with an only temporary housing. :-)
I totally agree - even words destined from the beginning to be cut again are practice, as well as, in my imagining, future compost to nourish my imagination and my storytelling. They might exist only for the shortest time, but once they've been there the next ones growing on top of them will be richer and look better.
