That purpose itself is noble and admirable, but the actual source of that wish is not. Look at Sayaka. She wanted to help Kamijo. That is pretty noble, but the source of that wish is her longing for Kamijo to notice her.
Madoka is the same. She wants to help people. That's great. But why does she wants to do that? Because she has seen herself as worthless all her life.
The actual motivation of her wish may not be that relevant to you. But in this show, it matters, a lot.
Of course, the fact that there's no one except Homura to fight Walpurgis this time around puts things on a different perspective, and I do no mind if Madoka has to make a contract because there's no other options.
YET, it's extremely important, IMO, to keep in mind Madoka's original motivation. It's important because both it's the only way you can understand Madoka's character properly, and because I bet this element it's going to play out somehow in the final!!
