      Well sure the the obscene yields do help destroy suburbs, but another reason they exist is to ensure military targets are hit. ICBMs used to be inaccurate by a couple miles, so increasing the blast radius ensured that didn't matter. Now, ICBMs are more accurate and the world generally fields less powerful bombs.
