You haven't done any harm, but the reason that the serial port is
disabled by default is that few people actually use it, yet when it is
enabled it does draw power. So it is disabled in order to reduce the
drain on the battery by a small amount. In general, if you want maximum
run time on battery, you should disable everything you aren't going to use.
