I wouldn't say Kaguya didn't need to exist, but I do think it was unnecessary to make her a villain. After all, when she was first introduced to the lore in 646, there was no indication that she had any malice to her. That was only first hinted at in 670 when Hagoromo talked about her to the boys. It really felt like just a forced attempt at one last "A ha! Fooled you!!!" moment before the series ended.
