How important is it to replace the rotor retaining screw?

just drive it until it breaks or falls apart, then, you can have an adventure writing about fixing it or paying a professional to help you out. Win, win for everyone. life is about the adventures we create

I never do and never did, its there mostly for assembly as the car is moved about the facilities.

Not terribly. It's useful in that it holds the rotor in place and aligned while you put the wheel on. However, the thing that does all the actual alignment and clamping is the wheel. If you broke it, don't sweat it. If you lost it, don't sweat it. If you have it, it helps hold things together and is convenient. Unless you're worried about weight, in which case you have bigger issues to worry about. Cast iron rotors among them. :)

Every single time I've worked on brakes with those stupid things they're fused in and I end up drilling them out. I don't bother replacing them.

This is my friends car. The piston is seized and has destroyed the rotor. He does nothing but create through neglect.
