I think your reasoning of it being "fluff", thus having no meaning to the actual story, is a cop-out. Most people like to see HOW and WHY things are. Sort of like the fights in the series. None of these fights contributed to the "message" of the story. So, why not cut those out and just have had Naruto assuage every situation? Because people like to see how things unfold; the trials and tribulations of characters' progressions.
Actually, the fights ultimately led to the final message of the story. So therefore, it was necessary.
What meaning does showing Kakashi becoming hokage have?
