You can always alias it to include the parameters you usually use.
alias md5sum="md5sum --ignore-missing" or something like that.

I think the "--ignore-missing" option for the checksum validation

majority of the time I am checking checksums, I usually only have one,
maybe two of the files in the checksum list. It would seem to me to
be a higher-priority option. If there were a way to set this as the
*default* setting (environment variable? .config setting?) it would
be ideal, although I don't know if coreutils works that way.
