The 5e version is already very powerful for that use, because it's only a Wis save, so in theory you could turn undead much more powerful than the Cleric to avoid fighting them. Very high level undead needed Turn Resistance or Legendary Resistance for example, otherwise their Wis save may not be enough.At this point Destroy Undead might be a ribbon ability (the benefit is that they don't come back after 1 minute, if it matters). In theory 5e is designed exactly so that lower-level monsters still matter at high levels, if they are in high numbers, and this could be the scenario for Destroy Undead to have some edge.Replacing it with damage, and adding Divine Spark is of course in line with the evolution of the game towards making resource management and strategic thinking less and less important.</blockquote>
