Although the chapters in FOTR containing Tom Bombadil are fairly large chapters, I don't think they would have added much to the movies. Don't get me wrong Tom Bombadil is great, and I love the chapters involving him, but they really don't add much to the quest of getting to Rivendell and destroying the Ring. So no. Tom Bombadil should not have been in the movies
