Should the silicone be there or is it just me and the OPs plumber
that also puts a little silicone between the taps and the bath?

Nope. I do it as a matter of course. Very often when you replace the taps
into existing baths/basins/sinks there will be a small gap somewhere that
lets pooled water drip down. Also helps keep them in place when flexibles
are involved.
