Of course not.
That's the artistic freedom you have. If you found out that you made a 
fantastic bassline or lead with one of the factory-presets it's nothing to 
be shamed about.
It's something what's done for years .

A good example of 'over-used' presets are the sounds of the TB-303 or the 
TR-909 or the 'What the...' preset of the Roland Alpha Juno-2.
And what to think of the good old piano sound?

But creating new sounds can be fun too. I get my ideas when tweaking the 
knobs of my synths.
