You are missing the point about drivers taking off from the lights as differing speed/acceleration and leaving gaps. These gaps can be filled by merging.
The fact that in practice it doesn't always work is not helped by drivers not allowing the merge to happen as they feel cheated in some way that someone has got ahead of them.
