For the movable chord exercises, is the ultimate goal more around memorizing the 1/4/5/6m in the F/D/Barre shapes which are G/C/D/Em up and down the neck and not necessarily in ‘finding’ the 1/4/5/6m? Given enough repetitions I should be able to remember them but I am curious if there is any merit to understanding the why because I am pretty lost as to the reasoning (and any finding) behind the G is an F shape on the 5th fret but a D shape on the 9th fret. I am not even sure I am making sense here lol.

Totally normal if it takes a while to digest all this stuff. I know it did for me….
The benefit to memorizing the 1/4/5/6m in close proximity to each other is when you’re at a jam and learning a song you’ve never heard before. You have quick access to the most common chords in that key rather than having to jump around all over the neck.
The F, D shape and Barre shape are just different inversions of the same chord. An inversion means we’re just taking the three notes of the chord (in this case G, B and D) and stacking them in different combinations.
These will help you smoothly move around the neck but also is where you’ll find your melody notes for soloing.
