Do you think that keeping the history is important?

Oh. Particularly when commit messages are good, history is quite important. It can answer questions like "who did this?" (so you can bug the right person with your questions), or "how did this work before?" (e.g. if a regression was introduced, you can recover the previous behaviour and study its code, not to mention that you can find regressions more or less automatically with things like git bisect) and many others.
