I think it's not for nothing. With his first big move he practically killed the whole army that was present. Only the kages and a few who were around the kages have survived. And then he both lectures the kages and defeats them, so the main purpose of all this in my opinion was to use the army and the kages as a measuring stick for Madara's power. And also to introduce his character. Because Kishi with this "war" has run out of villains that are good enough to be the villains of the next arc, since both Kabuto and Tobi have failed and also shown us their special abilities. And as usual in such shonen manga, the next arc will have to have stronger enemies. Madara is such an enemy. My expectation was that Tobi and Madara will somehow merge (i expected Tobi to bring back Madara with either Edo-Tensei or his rinnegan), since Madara's character is too boring to be a final villain and Tobi is too weak to be it.
