Learning to fly is beneficial later on in a bird's life, because it will understand the mechanics of how to take off and land. This may not seem important in a wing-clipped bird, but it really is. The bird understands how to compensate for the balance difference when it does those clipped flights - like the inevitable leap off the playstand or instinctive response flights when startled. Further, it's a confidence builder. Properly fledged birds, in my opinion, seem to be a lot more confident as they grow, even when they're clipped after fledging.
What a shame they clipped your baby before it fledged. I would be spitting mad to have my bird's wings touched by someone else after I'd paid for it. Grrrr...
