Notation question

Is there any reason to add slur marking to a segment that has the pedal held the entire time?

Definitely! Even when the pedal is engaged, slurs can alter the attack and release of notes, giving a different character to the phrase. The nuances in finger legato versus pedal legato really change the tone and complexity of your playing. It's important to pay attention to those markings for a more authentic sound.
