It's completely relevant. Just because they have civilian shelter zones you also have to consider *how* you get them there. For example if the zone is not on the route that Diva was traveling on, would you, as a captain, divert your entire ship to drop off a few kids? Or do you park your ship, risk being discovered and dispatch some light transportation to do so (if you have any, which doesn't seem to be the case on Diva, in which case they do what? send out the MS team?!). Or, if you are on a remote military base where the shelter is at least several hundreds of kilometres away with the most common transportation route in risk of enemy presences/occupation (remember Vagan took 40% of Earth in a short period of time and are still actively moving/expanding) would you risk sending soldiers or military vehicles to escort a few kids there? etc You seem to have this idea that to ship off the kids is as easy as just calling a cab or take a bus or something when in fact it involves much more unusual logistics and risk than that. On the other hand if you just keep them on Diva at most you consume a few more rations on a ship that most people actively despises, I'd know what route a lazy soldier would take given the choice.

And since Flit is on good terms with the current Commander, he could've easily had the children transferred to one of those places.
Yeah only to have the subordinates actively spite the order like I've said - you know just like how the current crew of Diva got assigned there in the first place, or did you not watch that episode? Orders might be given by the top, but whether it is carried out properly is in the hands of those actually doing it. Discipline is when this comes in, yet this is also the area where the Feds constantly shows they lack in any Gundam show.

It makes a difference to the operation of the ship. Or at least, it should.
Well it doesn't, they just stow them away like luggage.
