Hey, think about it: you were beaten by a great king of men over 3000 years ago, you've been fighting a war with his people for generations, and right when you think you're winning, the king's heir returns to claim the throne and really fight a war with you, when you thought there were no king anymore.
It sure also had some strategic importance. Gondor didn't need a king very badly, but if a one returns on the right moment, the enemy will probably have something to think about.
