By removing .la files, you are taking away that choice from the user. For you they might be useless, for some user (or entire software house) it can be its holly grail for library versioning and linking. I don't really feel like forcing users to change their build setups just because we think they are useless, do you? - It is decisions like this one that *might* give us bad reputation.
Bluntly put, you seem to not know how libtool exactly works and further down in the thread how linking exactly works. Please try to learn the fine Gentoo docs on the subject and feel free to ask more details on irc.
