Unless I'm missing something, you already got an answer to this question
in Eli's first reply in this thread:

[Eli]
TeX doesn't need them. These pointers are there to allow traversing
the on-line manual, and are not needed for non on-line versions.

(Personally I found Eli's explanation confusing -- what does "on-line"
mean here? If it means HTML, makeinfo does support HTML output -- does
it mean it doesn't cope with missing node pointers in the HTML case? If
it means the standard Info manuals, then that's the principal format
supported, isn't it...)
