Even though the story doesn't call any attention to that particular detail afterwards, I think the irony is 100% intentional, considering how light that flashback otherwise is on concrete details.

I don't know if I'd put it above Fourze, but admittedly, the actual kick part of the Rider Kick in the premiere was definitely the least interesting thing about it, so the version in this episode does a good job spicing that up without being able to bring the Dragon into the mix.

Idk, I might be reading too much into this

This thread is exactly the right place to be putting too much thought into Wizard, so thank you for also sharing your headcanon about why Haruto loves his donuts so much.

I think your idea squares with the facts pretty well? "Eating donuts" is basically the guy's default behavior when he's not fighting Phantoms, so I'd say it's definitely something Haruto finds relaxing. Tying that to pleasant memories from there would be right in the thematic wheelhouse of this show, so even though it's not an idea the show ever establishes, it is very much in line with all the ones it does, and I don't believe anything in Wizard actively contradicts it either? It's got more basis in what's actually on screen than my theory does, at least!

These things happen when a show lives in your head for over a decade!
