And if you have an unintended departure, you have bigger problems than a
current VOR check.

What is the point of the phrase "at the airport of intended departure"
in FAR 91.171(b)(1)?

I always contended that it means you can't do the VOR check and
then either:
1. Have an uninteded departure.
2. Move the aircraft to some other airport before departure.

I think it's just fluff. The intent of the phrase is the same as if the
phrase wasn't ther.
