I think there's may be a bit more to Binns and his Class. JKR doesn't really mention things that aren't important. We barely ever hear anything about astronomy because of just that. So then, why do we hear of History? 

-Binns' class usually a full of little hints, clues, or bits of info pertaining to the plot. Goblin revolutions, werewolf code of conduct, (things other's have mentioned, I really should do some of my own research) little thing like that, which would give us some clues if we wanted to pay attention. 

 

- And, about the way he teaches his classes. True, he is the stereotypical wizard version of the boring old history teacher, but the way he teaches is important. Thanks to Hermoine's wonderful pay attention capabilities, she picked up the but when professor Binns mentions the CoS. No one else caught that. If he had been really animated, then the whole school would have realized it. It makes for a better plot though, that they hadn't. Also, if Binns was some wonderful teacher, he may become Harry's favorite, which would take emphasis away from DADA teachers. History is taught they it is, so as *not* to draw attention. History *is* important.
