I'm of the same mind. I was once hired to translate / edit a work that
referenced the Gemara pages for the mishnayos cited. I changed  those to
the perek and mishna number. But the main editor changed it back.

The only explanation I can conceive is the fact that whereas the Gemara
pages are totally standardized, there are some instances of different
halacha numbers in different editions of the Mishna. (Ahvos is an example
of that, but there's no Gemara on Ahvos.) . But I doubt this is the concern.
