Again,  you have missed my main point,  which is that Hamotzi should 
preferably be made sitting not standing. At the washing station you 
are standing, At your table you are presumably sitting.  This is an 
important difference.

Indeed, Ashkenazim in general make kiddush sitting and Havdalah 
sitting which is in accordance with a Tosafos in Brachos,  I 
believe.  Sitting denotes a "permanence".  Standing is not the 
preferable way to eat.
