Is your question about the bowl, the cup, or both? The answer you accepted only explains the bowl, but not why we use a cup. If that was your question, consider an edit to clarify.

You’re adding a new level of detail. My original question was like “why use the bedside kit when the sink is five steps away”. Usually chabad.org provides good insights but in this subject their article was mainly about the “how” and not so much the “why”.

The Magen Avraham Orach Chaim 3,1 quoted the Bach that one shouldn't walk 4 cubits after waking up in the morning without washing ones hands Netilas Yodayim. So a bowl with a cup next to one's bed is the solution. But the Magein Avraham seems to be lenient that one can walk till the sink to wash ones hands with a cup.
כתב ב"ח בשם תולעת יעקב: כל ההולך ד' אמות בלא נטילת ידים שחרית, חייב מיתה. ובסדר היום כתוב שלא יגע במלבושיו עד שיטול. ובגמרא לא משמע כן,
If the sink is is in the restroom then one should refrain saying the Brocha till walking out of the restroom. as it is a dirty place, but a sink outside the restroom is not a dirty place and one can make a Brocho. Mishna Brura 3,1,3:

I see a checkmark but don't understand how this answers the question. I thought the question was about pouring water over the hands versus washing them as usual, without a cup.

I get the answer. The walk to the sink exceeds the prescribed distance of 4 cubits (like 2 meters).

I do feel this is a rather legalistic point of view. “don’t go four cubits before...” might also translate to “don’t start your day before...”. But then, these kind of philosophical differences are omnipresent in Judaism.
