I suspect the reason the game has the healer's kit the way it does (with it seemingly virtually useless to most people) is because WotC decided to throw in a lot of extra little bits and bobs into the game to account for many of the differing playstyles, without actually stating in the books outright "Here's what you should use to replicate a 'XE' experience game!"  So in this particular case, some tables are going to play with majorly low or anti-magic, and some even without skills, so having an object or tool that helps with certain actions makes sense and is exceedingly important.  It's obviously not going to be really needed for 98% of the groups out there that'll have like 3 casters all of whom have Cure Wounds on their spell lists... but I'm sure there will be some for which having the healing kit in the adventuring gear purchase list is a godsend and means they don't have to invent one themselves.</blockquote>
