But having the option there at all, if its to be removed later for simplicity, could even cause problems - how quickly would users figure out that they dont want a kind of message? On the first one, it probably wont seem worth dismissing all of the type - might be interesting to get more. But once they get twenty in the next day, then it would probably sink in that okay, this is really annoying. But where did the option go? Wasnt there an option?
If anything it might lead them away from their preferences because their preferences are not where they saw the option initially.

Perhaps Im misunderstanding something, but if someone is trying to dismiss several, they wont want a dialog showing up every time, but at the same time even if they dont want to disable all of the type the first time that doesnt mean they wont want to do that later. The option, if its going to be there, needs to be there somewhat consistently.
You can still disable the notification category in Special:Preferences . It may be worthwhile to keep the main Echo interface (not preferences) simpler if they choose not to disable the category the first time.
