Maybe RTD did this to show the difference between Jack and the Doctor. The Doctor would have done the same thing... but he knows so much about everything, that all he has to do is get the bad guy talking for a minute and he can figure out (1) who they are and (2) what their weakness is, and shortly thereafter (3) how to exploit it. So for the Doctor, "Just get me in there" is enough of a big plan.
He also, I think, wouldn't have done the same thing in 03x05. I mean, where did that pad even come from that they made Steven stand on in order to transmit? If they had that pad, surely they had some other kind of transmitter there.
