Disregarding the situation at hand here, yes, it is good to get worse hands to bet into us. Now, lets look at the situation at hand here. Would these hands bet all three streets [including a raise on the flop] when you are showing no signs of going away? If Im calling that raise on the flop then Im most likely betting out on the turn and folding to a raise. Checking may get a worse hand to bet the turn, but not many are going to push the river when checked to.
