"This only would he say, that Imladris was of old the name among the Elves of a far northern dale, where Elrond the Half-elven dwelt, greatest of lore-masters."

Though you're right in that Denethor had little use in things unless he perceived their value to Gondor, I think he had some knowledge of the history of Arnor, and the existence of Imladris was certainly an important factor for those in the North-kingdom.
