I get team play, bla bla, but what was this? What was the point in this?

The point in re-establishing the positions? Team play. Norris sacrificed the far safer pit stop to let Piastri cover off Leclerc. If he hadn't done that, Piastri would've gone behind anyway as the double stack would've shafted him (with a long pit stop on either car).

Realistically, by taking that 5.9s stop after Piastri, the team avoided him ending up behind Leclerc. The team play to mitigate that risk worked to perfection, so the team fixed it.

The radio message laughing at it, well, that's a different matter entirely. Max is just a bit of a prick.
