Kirito beating Kuradeel was necessary to prove to the guildmaster that she'll be fine.

But isn't a Kirito an infamous frontliner? He's worked with Asuna and other Clearers numerous times now so the KoB Guildmaster should know very well of his capability. Furthermore Asuna is still a "high-ranking member" here, a position she was granted because the KoB leader trusts her judgement. Kuradeel's job was to guard her, not tell her what to do. All this duel did was just embarrass KoB which had a reputation of being the strongest guild.

That and most of the mechanics weren't all that well elaborated or recurring outside the "Friend List" and "durability". The tracking skill for example was just Kirito pushing a button then "BAM!" done. We don't hear/see about it again either.
