I think the biggest issue with switching banks is that that lowers the average age of your accounts, which affects your credit score.

Well, the age of your checking/savings does not matter. You could just leave your old credit card open and never use it (although this does creates some minor but annoying extra cognitive load).

That only applies to credit cards. Bank accounts don't even register on your credit report (overdraft lines may show up).
