And what's so wrong to focus emphasis especially on this message? To focus so much that it actually changes the message that 'enjoying music is necessary to be good', to 'enjoying music is critical when all else is equal'?

Well, for one thing, as you said we already have Nodame epitomising this message and this has been clearly shown in the anime time and again, there is not much need of repeating it at the cost of not showing what was actually the most important message of the arc? This "enjoying the music" thing in the manga is there, I believe, mainly as a way to alleviate the nervousness problem which plagued Chiaki and had presumably plagued Katagiri in the past too - before he came up with the jumping rountine.
It was there also to further the bond between Chiaki and Nodame, in the manga she gave him further advice too (which contrasted superbly with Yuuko who helped Jean believe his own hype) and Chiaki's win is not at all just "oh, well, I will enjoy my music".
