The CAM Profile Toolpath dialog box should have a "Save As Defaults" button, or some way in a config file to set defaults. Or even if it just defaulted to the last settings entered, it would save so much time and reduce the risk of errors.

Basically because the dialog serves two purposes.
With KP it is used to define settings for adding a new profile.
For existent profiles it is used to display the current profile settings.

CAM defaults are mostly too custom for specific setups that you need to configure them in your custom Postprocessor.

IMHO blindly acknowledging so said default parameters or the former used can lead to dangerous situations.
