I disagree.

Very often I copy a link or an email address from an email message (via 
RMB->Copy to Clipboard). Then I load the link in an open Konqueror 
window by simply clicking with the MMB somewhere in the Konqueror 
window. If I would be forced to use Ctrl+V for this then I first would 
have to clear the Location field, then I could paste the URL and then I 
would have to press Enter (or click on the Go button) to finally load 
the page.

The same with email addresses: In KMail I can simply add the copied 
email address to the list of recipients by clicking with the MMB 
somewhere in the address input field. The address is automatically 
appended at the end of the address list. If I would be forced to use 
Ctrl+V for this then I would have to click somewhere in the address 
input field, then I would have to press End to go to the end of the 
address list and then I could finally paste the address.

Regards,
Ingo
