That's for the transit relay, the dealer should have 'docked' it with the blanking cap attached to the wiring loom although not doing so will not affect any systems.
without any diag. codes it's impossible to tell why the pickup is sluggish (although there'll probably be a few wild guesses involving the letters 'G' 'E' and 'R'  ) when was the oil last changed?

It's for isolating various D3 systems while the new vehicle is 'in transit' to the selling dealer from the factory to prevent battery drain - so no you don't need one!

C?  only A & B types shown on the service check sheets....
6 months & 5k miles wouldn't degrade the engine oil (assuming the correct grade was used) enough to cause low temperature issues

The slow pick up will be due to the EGR - there you go 10FC - I said it!  
Of course, these devices have also been known to affect the suspension, ball joints, CD player and the interior light above the driver. so, it is just a wild guess. D4 SDV6 HSE
