"Why I won" is only marginally less important than "Why I lost". It just fulfills a different function. "Why I lost" is more about direct change to prevent further losses. "Why I won" is more about testing your objectivity and preventing you from falling into ruts.
Learning to look at your matches as an outsider with minimal bias is really important. Helps improvement a lot. "Why I won" can be a very useful tool provided you don't let your ego run away with you.
It can also be healthy if you're going through a rut - positive thinking helps break those much more than negative thinking.
It can also help keep things in perspective if you got a lucky win (*cough*Puffs*cough*) but I don't want to diss people further than that since it strays from the point. Looking at your wins objectively helps identify weaknesses. If you really won off a lucky item with Peach then it's important to understand that further improvement is still needed because stitch won't always be there for you. You can't get complacent over your skill & ranking if it was a really silly win - that's an easy way to plateau.
Egos, when misused, are really bad.
