I am amazed how people can read the LotR and not see how utterly significant and important Tom Bombadil is.

You don't like the use of his primary colors so he should just be dumped? As Charlie Brown would say, "Good grief!" Bombadil is the essence and embodiment of hope, and the inspiration for Sam and Frodo to continue on their quest at all costs to themselves.

As Goldberry said, "He is."
