Do we reverence a building, or should our reverence be unto God.
IMO, it should not matter what a Priest or Pastor's garb should be as the preaching of the word of God needs to be more important as we give reverence unto God alone.

Act 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Act 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Act 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Act 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Act 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mat 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Mat 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
 

I 5hink it a waste of resources.
A distinctive uniform for ministers sets them apart from everyone else.
What a minister should wear should reflect how the congregation dress. The minister is a saved sinner, as are the members of the church. He has been called and set aside to serve the local church and a uniform/clerical dress actually removes him from his fellow worshipers.
 
Your thinking is mostly correct, but in my opinion, such clothes provide comfort to pastors and make them look distinct, as the collar of the shirt is special for clergy.
