See my other comment for the origin (I found it!).
That's an interesting question!
In the original, I think the purpose was partly that the LANDING PAD is a physical piece of paper and THE LIST is in a computerized form. And part of it is that the author was including it as part of their review of how the day went. He doesn't say this explicitly, but I think he also considers each item and whether it should actually go on the list or be discarded.
I also find it useful to make sure that I've recorded enough of the context of the item for when I want to get to it in the future, and put it into the vague organizational structure of THE LIST. The value of that is that when writing something down during the day, I only have to write enough to communicate with myself-at-the-end-of-the-day, and can fill in any gaps myself-in-the-indeterminate-future will need later.
