1) Your usecase is both useless and against GNU policy against TPM (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html) .
2) You've missed -c option.

Non-interactive hash verification functionality would be very useful for implementing a trusted boot chain. E.g.:

if sha256sum -v ${hash} ${kernel}; then
  ...
else
  ...
fi
