Pearl Harbor was important because it was the site at which Japanese naval action brought the US into World War 2. Despite Japanese efforts to ensure that war was declared 30 minutes in advance of the surprise attack, communications in Washington DC between diplomats were delayed and the attack came before war was declared. This enraged the US population and ensured a war to "unconditional surrender."

Had those obsolete battleships not been sunk at Pearl Harbor, the US Navy would have used them at the Battles of Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, etc. Battleships fighting aircraft carriers would have been defeated.
