I've replaced several (but not LOTS!) of cotters. I've never bothered to file them and, when pressed in tightly, they haven't loosened. Two new cotters from the same batch should have the same angle, so the cranks will be set properly. If they seem to go in about the right distance, I would just press them in and try it out and not bother with the whole filing thing.
