I mean, what was the point of telling Jimmy (the guy who busted his ass taking care of Chuck all of those years) that Jimmy just never really mattered to him?
I love this show.

To be as viciously cruel and cutting as possible to the person who he (correctly) blames for fully and finally ending his legal career. Again - gotta remember that Chuck sees the legal profession as a sacred calling. Agree or don't agree (I certainly don't), that's his decision lens.
And he's now seen Jimmy make a mockery of it several times and in the process essentially demolished a true believer. He's goddamn furious at Jimmy and perhaps justifiably so.
And everyone knows exactly how to bring their family to their knees. Most of us will mercifully never drop whatever that bomb may be, but Chuck absolutely knew that the way to do it was to simply treat him as an afterthought. It was the absolute most painful thing he could've done to Jimmy and that's exactly what he was looking for.
The point was to do exactly what he did. The punch landed as far as Chuck's concerned.
