Ok first of all if danny carrey poked himself in the eye with a stick that STILL doesn't make him sloppy, that just means he was real f***ed up on hallucinogenic drugs. You really can't call danny carrey sloppy in any way...I'm sorry. You may not like his style... and if thats the case then you probably like pop music.
And if you think that they would use that take if he did, then you're crazy and obviously haven't been in a recording group at all. The only way they would leave that in is, as UFOtofu said, they were going for a "live" or "raw" sound. And Lateralus is pretty damn far from that.

Oh, he didn't drop any sticks. He threw them because he was angry. Some guy at the recording studio stole his tea and he threw it at his head.

I haven't heard any of those "sounds" mentioned, but I have heard other great "sounds". I am not trying to be sarcastic or show some bad humour here, I am dead serious.
Have you noticed that little white noise in the beginning of The Patient? Don't know if it's all of the amps, the tape machines or whatever, but it makes the sound real, breathing and alive.
Parabol have fretnoises from Justins fingers moving around. It all adds to the textures. So when I hear something extra most band probably would have edited away I get thrilled.
There is even more, but I can't remember the exact tracks and time. I actually find it a pity that they have eliminated all excess noise on 10000 Days album, (all those Dolby machines they wrote about once on their newsletters) but not much.
