To be fair, the beach chapters in the novels were to give Kouki time to plan and figure out where he was taking Total Eclipse; it was never really meant to go beyond the initial arc/premise, it was always intended to help promote the TSF toys. Then it became wildly popular and it was realised that hey, this could be made something worthy of the Muv-Luv name...
But that needs planning time, and the only way to buy time was the Beach Arc. On the other hand, I do think something important came outta that beach arc - Yui and Yuuya began defrosting towards each other.
