You can reduce it because yes it is useless. Something like this (one of these is pointless but I can't remember which one..)
/* correct titlebar icons position */
#titlebar-content > * {
margin-top: -6px;
}
/* Reduce the padding between the URL bar and the tabs/content */
#nav-bar-customization-target {
margin-top: -2px !important;
margin-bottom: -2px !important;
}
