Well, with higher DR you can increase contrast using saturation, without touching luma, and picture will still look natural and punchy, while retaining all details in shadows / highlights.
Plus having more headroom in form of DR, you can choose what to clip when you up the contrast, as opposed to not having that data in the first place.

And you have that headroom with just about any modern DSLR. At some point more headroom starts to be less important.
