Why would you need the antenna tuner in this case? Assuming your

Voila! A perfect match. No mis-matchlosses, and no need for a
tuner.

Yes, but a real-world antenna rarely has a 50 ohm feedpoint impedance
even though it is resonant. The feedpoint resistance of a resonant
1/2WL dipole can vary from about 40 ohms to about 100 ohms depending
upon its height above ground. And a resonant dipole won't usually
cover the entire 75m band without a tuner of some kind.
