Eh I think Madara provided a more in depth story and answered a lot of questions like how nagato got the rinnegan, what does the Uchiha stone tablet say, how and why obito became like he was and he was tied in with the whole reincarnation of Indra deal. Without Madara none of these points would've been hit. I think he should've been the end boss due to him being the behind literally almost everything important that happened in the series. No Madara equals no Obito cause he would've died and no Pain Arc because no rinnegan :(
