Army Group South did not have any trouble doing what was assigned to it. The Red Army in that area was not a threat after the Battle of Uman, in which it had lost most of its tanks.
So the decision to move south was completely unnessercery.

I agree. Once Moscow was under control the armies to the south could have been dealt with at leisure. I suspect they may have been ordered to evacuate the Ukraine also. Would this have been practical for the Russians? I think not.
