Is increasing the steps to the mosque for the Friday prayer and congregational prayers a legitimate, recommended, or innovative act?

It is recommended to walk many steps to the mosque for prayer, as Allah erases sins and raises ranks thereby, in accordance with the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Shall I not tell you of what Allah erases sins by and raises ranks by?... And many steps to the mosques," and his saying: "Your dwellings, your footsteps are recorded."

Moreover, not rushing and walking with tranquility and dignity leads to a greater number of steps, and every step raises a rank, and "When the prayer is announced, let none of you rush, but rather walk with tranquility and dignity."
