Not arguing your point about the rough seas, but I think the vomiting was symbolic of them being scared shitless more than sea sickness.
No reason why it could't be both from a directorial standpoint I suppose.
But it was a BIG talking point in historical recounts how they gave the infantry a big breakfast the day of the invasion....only to have most of them puke it up in transit.

Part of the urgency is that they had been on the ships a while - they were out there all day on the 5th - and rough seas prevented the landings then - Ike ordered a go on the 6th because he had to do that, or bring them back to England and try again in July or August when the tides were right.
