There are many reasons..
The history is probably the most universal.
Someone might wish to revive an old cache location...maybe it was a good spot, but the owner dropped out.
Although GROUNDSPEAK is officially against it, I believe we conscientious cachers should visit the locations of archived caches where there might be remaining geotrash, and remove said trash. Of course, due care must be taken in case the cache is currently listed on another listing site. That being said, I'll bet there are several hundred (thousands really) abandoned ammo cans waiting to be picked up across the U.S.A.

    --- CLARIFICATION ---

    I am not offering to share the complete database of
    caches I receive via Pocket Queries.  I only offered
    to provide a list of the NAMES of the ARCHIVED caches
    in AZ - e.g. a list of GCxxxx names.  The remainder of
    the information about the caches including the
    description and logs will have to be downloaded by the
    individual who receives this list.  Sorry for any
    confusion.

    Bob
