You need those metrics to messure letters and to typeset them. The
question is, why you need to embed these standard fonts into your PDF?
For example, I have to replace standard fonts with TTF variants and I'm
embedding them, because I need some special characters that are not
covered by characters in a Adobe base fonts. Is this your case? If not,
why you need embed fonts?

Such fonts are usually of lower quality then ones from Adobe.
