You are forgetting two things:

1. Rebels (especially Rebels with white defence dice) can evade surges, so it is always good to have an extra surge.

2. Stormtroopers aren't the only "Troopers" in the game. E-Web is also a "Trooper" and so are Heavy Stormtrooper. Especially the latter have good surge abilities but only a low chance of getting a surge by rolling its dice (blue+red). An extra surge really boosts their power.
