No, it isn't. Tolkien said so himself. Bombadil was featured purely for sentimental reasons, not because he was important to the story. (Check in Letters! It's there!)

I agree with Boromir and Neurion about the Gondorian soldiers; they really got a raw deal. I really hate how Gandalf had to tell them to shoot the trolls instead of the towers. It's when people start picking about hair colour that I get a bit annoyed. Just let it go!
