Another thing that came to mind is that we really don't see the bond between Eomer and King Theoden. Sure, there's that 'the King stands alone' line, but we don't see these two (to this point) really interacting. What better place to show that Eomer was a 'king's man' all along than at Helm's Deep? Also, we would then see why Eomer would be a worthy successor - not just that he carries a big stick.
But that may have been too much for the audience, and so we have what we have.

That's absolutely true, alatar, and that's something I think we definitely should have seen at some point. The relationship between Eomer and Theoden is vital to a full portrayal of both their characters, and that element is totally missing in the films.
