Did Clinton deserve to be impeached?
In truth - probably not. It was mostly a House full of righteously indignant Republicans who wanted to shame Clinton. They had their moment to preen. Then it went to the Senate which didn't even come close to convicting. After extreme embarrassment to Clinton (which is all the Republicans really wanted) his presidency continued on.

Why were Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton not removed from office after being impeached?
Both were acquitted when tried in the US Senate. Clinton expectedly because no Democratic senators voted with the Republican majority. Johnson avoided removal by just one vote.
The word "impeachment" actually refers to the accusal(indictment by the House), rather than a conviction. The House of Representatives has to vote to impeach, and the Senate has to vote for conviction. The resignation by Richard Nixon in 1974 avoided both an impeachment and very likely a conviction.
Why was Bill Clinton a good leader?
History will decide what kind of leader President Clinton was. After being out of office for at least 20 years (one generation) historians will have varied opinions about what sort of President, he was. But until then we know these things about his Presidency:
The U.S. enjoyed peace and economic well being. He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. In 1998, as a result of issues surrounding personal indiscretions with a young woman White House intern, Clinton was the second U.S. president to be impeached by the House of Representatives. He was tried in the Senate and found not guilty of the charges brought against him. He apologized to the nation for his actions and continued to have unprecedented popular approval ratings for his job as president. In the world, he successfully dispatched peace keeping forces to war-torn Bosnia and bombed Iraq when Saddam Hussein stopped United Nations inspections for evidence of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. He became a global proponent for an expanded NATO, more open international trade, and a worldwide campaign against drug trafficking.
Some say these accomplishments were left from the Reagan - Bush Presidency, others will say these were because the Congressional Party majority was the same as the Presidents.
For whatever reasons things were accomplished under the Clinton Presidency. It is now up to history to decide how they were accomplished, whether by Clinton, Congress or his predocessors Presidents Reagan and Bush, Sr.
