There are nuances in the other two sentences not conveyed in the first - "better without X" is not the same as "X is not doing harm". The way it's currently phrased is a better, more rounded request, giving the respondee a better anchor to work from.
You've actually highlighted how some nuance and context is lost by cutting things down to a 'soundbite'.
