Originality-does it matter?

Is that heresy, to chuck original parts on the scrap heap rather than recondition the originals?

No.
Fwiw, I kept all the original parts I removed, and located the few I was missing, at the time just in case I wanted to return it to stock. The chances of that happening are becoming less over time as the drivability and fun factor increases.
