The problem is that you are thinking of yourself. A version of Spider-Man representative of his actual history hasn't been since Weisman's Spectacular cartoon and the Fox cartoon before that.
For young kids the last ten years have given them an on-screen Spider-Man who is some doofus who lags behind his superfriends or something like that. They haven't been introduced to the classic Spider-Man...I think ITSV was the first time they got a hint of classic Peter.
So it's worth doing for that alone.
