Your missing the point. You need to take and hold terrain. You cannot always be chasing the enemy. "Capture the Airfield at X"

But why did you capture Goose Green? Because you want to deny it to the enemy. What you want to do to the enemy(mission) always comes first and generally remains constant. Where (the objective) is very changeable, more than one location to skin the cat.
Entirely symbolic. It was seen as a political necessity to capture somewhere. - and it was the only land bridge between the two major islands in the East Falklands.
