All pickaxes function the same. Yes it makes no sense. No, don't worry about it <3

I find they auto-equip the best quality pick there is, so having a skilled weaponsmith produce a few should do the trick. If not, you can dump or forbid the picks your miners are holding and they should grab the better ones, at which point you can reclaim/allow the old ones.

For mining they do, but there's more you can do with a pick than just mine ;)

Mining counts as a combat skill, and since miners tend to level up quite quick they can be formidable in combat. A masterwork steel pickaxe makes a big difference over a basic copper one when things pop out of somewhere and attack your miners.

I think you can forbid the other pickaxes and it will force the miner to take from the unforbidden picks.

They should auto-equip the most valuable tool at some point in time, unless they grew fond of their tool already.

Dwarves can get attached to items they use often, and even give them little names.

Calm down, the guy didn't even criticize the game, they asked a question. Which has been answered, and they thanked the person that answered them.
And even if they did criticize the game, it's their right to do so (just like it's other people's right to explain why they'd think that person is right/wrong). You're acting like an ass right now.
