There seems to be a strong proof from Tosafos to the opinion of the Gr"a that although there is no chiyuv to eat matzah every day of the 7 days, there is a mitzvah. Tosafos says that Chol Hamoed is considered an "os" and we do not put on Tefillin even acc. to the opinion that the issur melacha is only derabonon, bec. the mitzvah of matzah and succah make it an "os". Clearly Tosafos holds that there is at least a kiyum mitzvah to eat matzah and sit in the succah all 7 days. By Succos it is clear that it is a kiyum mitzvah bec. we even make a bracha, but the chiddush is that eating matzah on every day of the 7 days is also a kiyum mitzvah. See also B'al Hameor at the end of Pesachim who asks why we don't make a bracha on eating matzah all 7 days. His question is also a strong proof to the Gr"a.
