There is nothing wrong with using the kill switch. That is the way that the MSF course teaches, and it became a habit for me.
Both ways work, but neither is better or worse. The devil's advocate to your method is that if you never use the kill switch, how will it be your first reaction in an emergency? Also, the headlight is only on for the amount of time it takes to reach from the handlebar to the key; about 10 seconds, including putting the side stand down. It won't kill your battery unless you hit the kill switch and forget about it for an hour.
