I think your 'note naming' procedure might be more productive if you named notes in a real piece of music. Thus, should you spot and identify a B, perhaps the next note will be right above it and you can instantly say C. If there's a scale, naming the notes becomes even faster.

There's nothing inherently wrong in your approach - it is important to be able to name notes - but I think using real music might be more helpful. And of course, once you name it, finger it on the clarinet. At some point seeing the note will 'automatically' move your fingers; assigning a name to the note won't be an intermediate step.

Just as seeing a red traffic light moves your foot to the brake - you don't consciously interpret the red light to mean stop - so seeing a dot on a line or space will move your fingers.
