Says who?
Unless the transmission shifting logic is poorly engineered and makes a sizeable clunk/jarring when doing so, there is no harm in going from neutral to drive. The Matrix is smooth as glass shifting to drive, even at freeway speeds. The feeling is similar to making a routine 3-4 shift, so I highly doubt the effect on the transmission is much different.
