Since I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to leave the old/bent step flashing in place and whether the ice shield would
really stick to it, I elected to have him remove the old step-flashing. Would it have been better to leave it on?

I would have removed the old step flashing too. Like you, I don't
see any point in leaving it on. Those roofers sound like amateurs.
You said the siding was scuffed up a bit, that's to be expected.
A coat of paint should fix it.
