With him being present you would also have someone who presumably would know the fusion dance as well as Goku and would also be another fusion option with say Piccolo, meaning the kids can have a slightly less important role within the arc to please those that hated how strong they started off at.
This isn't a bad idea, perfect way to keep Piccolo relevant and also bring an equally as awesome character into the mix.

Did not like seeing him beat Cell so effortlessly though, but ignoring that scene, I loved everything about him and that mini-arc.

Also, his funimation theme! <33333
I wasn't a huge fan of the Cell thing either, but I had my Filler filters on. :)

That would have been cool but he is a filler character though. If they had him join Goku on Earth then Toei would have got rid of him quick to keep things close to the manga. He would have kicked Dabra's ass though. I do think Paikuhan could have play a role in GT. In GT before Dr. Myu and Dr. Gero make the portal from Hell to Earth, he would have been sent to Hell to find out what's going on.
