Knowledge can, in the right situation, be amazing. This is especially true in any situation when you have to use something you normally couldn't.
Say you are doing some genre crossing and are exploring a crashed spaceship (this has been done more than once!). And you can give yourself proficiency in use computers.... game changer.
I think light cleric is good - heck I would definitely play one! - but I'm not sure it's S tier good. Is "blasting" really the best thing you can do as a cleric? Heck I would say that blasting overall is over-rated in 5e. Fireball is considered as a potent 3rd level damage spell (as it should be!)... but while HP have gone up dramatically in editions, spell damage has not. In 2nd ed, an 8d6 fireball would obliterate ogres. In 5e, it will make them mad...
Lastly, I agree that war cleric is...not so great. I think part of the problem is the bonus action economy. There are a lot of things you could be doing with your bonus action as a cleric besides using it to swing a weapon...
