Additional wear to the clutch is, again, infintesimal. As Old Mechanic says, you are merely accelerating a few dozen pounds of crank, pistons and transmission up to a few hundred rpm rather than putting full load through the clutch.

A bump start at speed is a whole lot less stressful than a 1-2 shift done without lifting or rev matching. And millions of drivers do THAT synchro-stripping maneuver every day...
