The best answer to this can be in the historical significance of any building, Buddhist or not. The Buddha was an historical figure who shaped the teachings of many spiritual teachers around the world in the 2500 years since he lived. Marking the spread of Buddhism allows us to understand the way that human beings have interacted, and the ways in which our history has been shaped by the teachings of this one individual (for good or ill, such histories help us to understand in greater depth the things that we have found important over time).

It also permits us to remind ourselves of the labors of love and kindness that people have offered. For this same reason, notable shrines, mosques, chapels, cathedrals, and other structures should be maintained, as they give us important bookmarks to chapters in history, all of which have resulted in things being as they are now.
