it doesnt teach you do shit, all the things you listed is learned from practice. having a zoom lens wouldnt mean that you dont need to find a good composition.
i have one for my 35mm, but i would never buy one for my dslr.
Having a prime lens will teach you more about photography than a zoom lens ever will. Actually having to move around and find the shots you're looking for, instead of zooming in and out is much better for teaching yourself about what factors make or break a photo.
