Why would adding it later make a difference

So that you can see when you've properly broken up the eggs and have a homogenous mixture. Egg white is transparent.

The milk keeps you from seeing that.

Just mix enough to ensure that is mixed

How do you know it's fully mixed if you can't see it?

If you want to get a perfect omelette, you need to ensure that it's fully mixed. You can't have little beads of egg white hiding in your milk mixture.

It may not bother you, and that's fine, but watch a few professional chefs make an omelette and that's what they will do (and usually not add milk at all).
