Not a daft question, any question you don't know the answer too is valid.
It doesn't really matter if you leave the old filter in or remove it (if you can) to sterilise your system. But don't put the new one in BEFORE sterilising.
Probably more relevant whether you bother with a filter at all. Two aspects to water system filter, one is to filter unwanted particles from supply, the other is to remove any taint from the water. Removing taint is done with activated charcoal, and that is what suffers in the cleaning process and no longer functions. It doesn't really matter, as few supplies have that much of a taint that it's a problem, equally not many supplies have much in the way of particulates either, do you filter your tap water at home! Biggest risk is if you are not particular about cleanliness with your water barrel and don't fit the hose/pump gaiter properly to stop bugs getting in.
My service engineer said to me just remove it and don't bother replacing it on two counts (but mine is a Truma cartridge type and can simply be left out of the housing, not sure your Whale one is so simple to eliminate, may need to substitute a spacer of some kind), firstly it isn't really necessary, and secondly he'd seen filters under a microscope as part of his training and the bacterial growth was alarming, you wouldn't knowingly want that in your water supply! I've never bothered with a filter after the first one was remove during the service.
