No, at this point it was not necessary but Lucifer has a sense of formal etiquette that is ingrained. The other purpose is training to smooth interactions with the other angels, and potentially other denizens of the Nexus.
There's nothing but calm politeness in Lucifer's body language or tone. He appreciates an apology more than most which allows for a calm here, as does the fact that this is someone from Balthazar's world, the first he has met. Curiosity keeps him in check as well.

"You are hardly the first or last to flee from my presence. Balthazar has told me of the Lucifer in your creation and I understand the desire to not be in his presence. However, I am nothing like yours and find what I have heard to be irritatingly cliché."
