I don't understand the purpose of the macros.

I'll bet Evenbit doesn't understand your non-standard mnemonics,
either.

If they are
only a few instructions, then write them directly into the
code (makes the code better readable).

Try reading the Pragamatic Programmer sometime.
Macros are a great tool for commonly-used sequences (even if they are
short) to prevent entering repetitive code into a program.

And if they are many
instructions, write it as a subroutine and not as a macro.

Surely you understand the difference between a macro and a subroutine
and why you would choose one over the other?

The
same program in a readable version without any macros:

"Readable" is highly debatable, given the proprietary nature of your
assembler's syntax.
