Getting rid of code is neither good nor bad, intrinsically. A very common Code Review comment at Google went along the lines of "you could do this in fewer lines." I can show examples where that makes the code less readable and less maintainable.
Of course, if you reduce the resources the code uses AND that matters, you've done a good thing. That's the case Atkinson was talking about.
