Well, we are in fact developing some videos, and these will be
integrated into the relevant documentation pages using links. I don't
think a link in the menu (which doesn't really address video anyway)
will assist.

You've got me wrong - I want to provide the most complete documentation
experience online and offline, and that's the exact reason I'm arguing
in favour of removing the link. I don't have any ulterior motives,
except I am passionate about helping users find documentation easily. We
even wrote a spec about it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsableHelpMenu
