Images will show on the page just the same with using a redirect so there's no need to "fix" links which are not broken. That would give more badges to the editor but don't help the site at all. There's no harm to the site either, but work on unnecessary link changes would be better used on something productive. Changing article links to bypass a redirect could be justified if the hint shown when hovering over the link is confusing, e.g. wrong reality qualifier. However, usually the gain is minimal and the effort to change links would have much better used on something more important. I've been leaving redirects when moving files but part of me feels like I'm half-assing it.
