On an emotional level, retaining her visions might have helped remind her of how much she once cared for Arthur and Camelot, given how terrified she used to be when they were threatened. That's true. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened then.

I find it a bit illogical for Morgana to surpress her seer powers when they could have given her an advantage (like when she saw Gwen on the throne). On the other hand, in regard to what you wrote above, she may have wanted to avoid seeing what will or might happen to those she used to love. Maybe she was afraid of her own feelings and didn't want to be disturbed by them but preferred to completely ignore any positive feeling for others in order to be "strong" enough to put her plans into action. At least this could apply to her up until season three. She was later portrayed as someone who wasn't even capable of feeling sympathy for other people, which was a big mistake on the showrunner's part.
