I think that they won't hurt... But the pointed feet of a Freediver are far from being as important hydrodynamically as actual frontal area.
I can barely stay upright on a bike WITH training wheels, but I think the feet of a cyclist are moving MUCH faster than their average distance travelled / time and this drag would increase the load on the leg muscles to overcome this resistance. I'm guessing that this is where the wattage savings is coming from, more than the static coefficient of drag.
