"May you enjoy health, prosperity and happiness in the new year.".
The statement above MAKES THE POINT succinctly.
The statement below only EXPRESSES THE "DESIRE" TO MAKE THE POINT and with a lot of UNNECESSARY VERBIAGE.

Audiences tend to tune you out if you are repetitive or "sugar coat" your wording. Be brief and to the point.

Yes. I would like to take this opportunity (without the "also") to offer my very best wishes and warmest greetings to you for health, prosperity and happiness is well-said. The sentence is heart-warming.

It is perhaps a convention to use such phases. It may not be very nice-sounding, but we are so used to them, and we seldom stop to evaluate them. As if they have become part of such expressions. And now-a-days such formal language is rarely used. But it is an interesting observation.
