Those little thread valve things are useful as if you get a slow puncture, or your tyre just has low pressure, then without them you can't press the adapter onto the valve because it just pushes back past the rim.
Say yes to to those little thread valve thingies!
(Say yes to aligned valves and tyre logos!)

Sorry, nope. Another Valve Fail.
You simply push from the tyre behind the valve. I do this anyway, wrapping my hand over the tyre and valve to make sure i never bust off a valve.. like numpties on here seem to do every other week.
Again, I've run almost all my bikes for years without caps or threaded dooviewackies and never had an issue.
I did leave the yellow caps on the Raleigh for a while since they matched the TI Raleigh colours :)
