Definitely take pictures of everything the day before/the day you move in. That's good advice. That's making sure that you have your back if the landlord comes back and says something was damaged through the course of you living there.

I wouldn't send those pictures to the landlord to confirm, necessary, but I would make sure they have a time/date stamp. If you send them to the landlord to confirm, you would also have a record of when you took those photos, but it could come off as potentially aggressive? That's just how it feels to me though. It might not be a bad idea to let your landlord know you're on top of your shit and as Jay-Z has said, "know your rights."
