It was the alternative to McClellan's strategy of advancing up the Peninsula, which had failed once, and would probably do so again.
Haleck wanted McClellan to advance from Washington into the Shenandoah, and join forces with John Pope, with enough combined muscle to knock out Lee.
This might have worked, but Lee didn't give them time to regroup.

Based on the Confederate reports from the Battle of Antietam, the Union's artillery was most effective against the Rebel forces. Federal infantry assaults were heavily supported by Union artillery. The infantry was also supported by rifled guns on the east bank of Antietam Creek. Also, long range Federal artillery beyond the Creek opened fire shortly after dawn on September 17, 1862. This severely hurt Stonewall Jackson's defensive lines. Confederate corps commanders and officers in charge of Confederate artillery all complained about how the long range Federal artillery hampered Rebel counter attacks.
