Let it be sparing the wrong unit, selecting the wrong unit, attacking the wrong unit, etc. Again, multiple times I have lost the game because of this error. It would be much more nice to have this button. There is absolutely no harm in doing so, and will allow a much easier gameplay.

There is harm in this, however, due to the fog of war. It can be abused. For example, if you attack with one unit for a kill, which reveals another unit behind it that can only be killed with the unit you attacked with. With this button, you now have an advantage knowing what unit is there. Also, let's say you can't see around your own spawn because your opponent took out a few units around it. With this button, you could spawn a runner, see what's around, then undo and spawn the most appropriate unit.

The only sensible thing to add could be a confirm, which is already there for movement. Just pay attention to what you're doing, though, and this should not be a problem.
