        Hi David,

        You don't have to but my advice is to fix them they are fairly easy fixes to do and they all add up to helping your site even if there is not one magic fix, a good example could be seen here - http://moz.com/blog/ugly-seo-mess-recovery-case-study where a lot of these little things all added up to helping one big thing. Remember things like title & description tags can also help CTR in SERPs which is always helpful. A great place if your title tag is too long is here - http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool

        Hope that helps.

          I would definitely fix them. The meta data is important to your site. It tells searchers and engines what your pages are about and leads to how relevant they are compared to your competition.
