We do very much want to do this. We debated making checkers pieces chip-able and letting them take several hundred stone so you could store various stones in checkers pieces around your base. As well as several other funny little gimmicks. In the end we decided it was better to do it right and implement the ability to mass-store various equipment via buildings with that purpose.
In the interim, the only nice thing you are getting to offset this is a tad bit more storage in your cupboards.

Do you intend to release a better storage option along with this?
Given the mill 400 stone requirement, for example, it'd be more challenging to have enough boxes to deal with it than to actually gather the materials.
You shouldn't need to store all your mats before building. If you build all the materials into the buildings they will not decay. This is only to counteract the players who simply load materials into their buildings with no intention of actually using them, just as a way to get out of making storage for items in general.
