Like most scientific breakthroughs there really isn't too much of a point to this besides bring back an ugly, probably unedible animal, but some point down the road there probably wil be a good use for this. Have the knowledge because you can.
I read a NASA officials comments on the ISS. He said that "we haven't even thought of most of the uses for the ISS." So if we can build a multi-billion dollar RV in space, why not bring back a ugly little rat from extinction.
Anyways, as long as we don't clone Velicoraptors we'll be okay.
