The Torah uses the term of affection at the outset of the parsha. There’s a similar word in the Megilla as well that could perhaps connote the same theme.
The Torah spells out each time that Moshe did it because Hashem said to. I wasn’t just an overall nice thing. He focused on each thing individually which contributed to the overall picture.
Rashi tells us the Purim & Pesach are times that miracles took place. Thus, there’s more happiness in these days. Why specifically them? We have other Yamim Tovim also? Maybe it’s because we came out alive on the other end of it.

The Mishkan could have had donation by just one or two individuals. However, that wasn’t the case. Everyone has a portion in bringing the Shechinah down to this world.
Moshe Rabbeinu wanted to know why bad things happen to good people. But Hashem wouldn’t tell him. What he did do was show him that after all is said and done, you are beloved in my eyes.
Bnei Yisrael's error with the Eigel was that it wasn't commanded of them. If so, that could be why Moshe Rabbeinu's name is omitted specifically from Parshas Tetzaveh.
