Yes, a very dramatic gesture, and we all know how evil overlords love
their drama. If Harry had touched his toothbrush and disappeared, it
would have taken the better part of a day and perhaps even until the
next day to determine that Harry truly had disappeared, and maybe a
week for the whole school to find out, and maybe a month for the
general wizard population to find out.

Using the Tri-Wizard's Cup, stealing Harry out from under Dumbledore's
nose in front of a thousand people at the very moment of Harry's
triumph, now that is high drama. And if, as other people speculate,
Voldemort planned to personally return to Hogwarts via that portkey
and start cursing people right and left, that would make it even more
dramatic, and would certainly be a dramatic demonstration of the Dark
Lord;s power and reach.

Drama, drama, drama.... that Voldemort is such a drama queen.

just some thoughts.
