I love the contrast between Bilbo's need for manners and social niceties (and the Dwarves' as well - Thorin, I think, gets put out by Bilbo not returning compliments when he ought have in chapter one) and Beorn's utter disregard for them. You're right - it's not snobbery so much as it's a comfort to him.
