Yes, I think Bilbo was all to nice to see the battle. However, Dain's dwarves did arrive so you don't know how the battle would ended. And you can't know if Gandalf had some nice trick, or if he just know that Bilbo would save the day. It was probably his sixth hobbit-sense that made him pick up the Arkenstone in the first place. I think that hobbits have an extra sense for making everything good in the end so everyone gets home in time for dinner.
