The real problem is the first one. That some day you may need to get at the terminals again. Also possibly, if you change direction at the junction, then the wall cables may no longer be in a 'safe' area immediately above or beside a visible fitting.
It is true however that a whole cable is better protected than a joined one. It is not possible for water to get inside a whole cable. Perhaps not very relevant half way up a wall, but might be if it was under the bathroom floor, under the washing machine, or anywhere downsatirs if you live in a flood area.
