It is not good to shut off your engine at lights, because you would be stopping and starting it all the time and it would wear on the engine. Second, the transmission is designed for the car to come to a stop in D. The transmission has slipping plates and gears in grease or oil that are designed to give way precisely so that the car is not fighting against the brakes. Also, idling is harde ron an engine that being under load, or so I have read.
