Why the hell does Data have so many green and red blinking LEDs right under his skin, huh? He looks like a damn Christmas tree every time he opens a new little door somewhere or when the Borg remove his skin.

Those are just fibre optic data lights that communicate tactile responses to and from the patch of "skin" they just removed.
If you removed all of Data's skin he would look like a christmas tree.
But it was not as bad as this android:

Till I watched the whole vid, I was wondering what you had against Zen (who says in his first episode that he only flashes like that because 'your species needs a visual reference point: this will be your reference point').
The Avalon android isn't that bad, really. For 1977 on the BBC...
I have two-three blinkies inside my computer. I had few on the back, although that was a long time ago. I also have some blinkies under my desk. Blinkies can be helpful when you open the PC as a sign of what's going on.
Data's more advanced, so he needs moar!

Indeed - they were getting very proficient (and daring) with bluescreening by that point. For an android that's supposed to be so advanced that even Avon can't fathom it, I think it does the job
The greenscreen/chromakey look suggests the parts were in extradimensional space. A Tardis-bot almost.
