Are poured concrete walls better than concrete block walls?
It depends on the application. For homes, masonry is fine as long as it is insulated well against the weather. Masonry rarely needs maintenance. Concrete walls are stronger and last longer than masonry but are more costly to construct. For basement walls, I suggest that you always use concrete walls. Above ground level, masonry is cheaper and strong enough for residential and commercial, multi-story applications. For retaining walls, 8" thick masonry works well up to about 8 feet of retained earth. Above that, the lower courses of block will get thicker to 12". You still need concrete footings for block walls.

Why did the walls in a traditional masonry bearing wall structure need to be so thick?
What do you mean by 'masonry beariing wall'. A wall can be made of masonry. The part of a building which is weight bearing, is the foundation. What do you mean by thick Iowl der. Masonry walls are usually 10 cm thick, because this was thought to be a very practical thickness if building brick walls about 2&1/2 Metre high. Any thinner, and it would be unstable and fall down.
