Bats are completely pointless and are nothing but an annoyance. I bet that Mojang added them just for the sake of it.
I hate how they can spawn just about anywhere dark. Before you tell me that I can just use a resource pack to make them invisible, no that is not the point of this. I just want them to be removed from vanilla. They cause plain disturbance/annoyance to both mapmakers and cavers, and don't even do anything useful. The way they're shaped makes them look out of place in Minecraft (most mobs in the game are blocky), and it also makes them very hard to hit.
Bats were added as ambiance. They are meant to make caves (and now dark places in general) feel more alive. Yes, they are annoying, but it doesn't mean they should be removed.
I would elaborate more, but I don't feel a need to.
(Also, to add in some opinion, I love it when they suicide in lava. It's funny how they'll dive right in)

I think they are pretty great because they do add to the feel of caves with their sounds. I also find it funny when I'm afraid of being hunted down by skeletons and a bat scares the crap out of me. I like bats, I think they should stay.

Bats are the only ambiance mob, and I actually quite like the ambiance. Minecraft is empty animal wise, so it's great to have this. Besides, they are perfectley fine. They provide no disturbance or annoyance to Minecraft on any scale. We don't need Minecraft to feel empty without the presence of that adorable little guy.
Bats are awesome. They should drop something though. Bat guano? Could be an ingredient for a potion? Like, drop very rarely (5% chance or less of dropping 1) and by crafting 8 with a rabbit feet, you get the ingredient for a potion of flying... or, for a less overpowered potion, maybe one would make a potion of X-vision, letting you see through one block deep, the powered version would let you see 2 block? ... I just think it's dull that they are so hard to kill, yet they drop nothing.
But still, they are awesome and I really don't want them to go. They are my favorite mob.

There are so many helpful things in the redstone community you can use bats for. Who doesn't want flying creepers? That is just one of the many examples too. You can even use them to make one shot headshots. They are incredibly useful. Their small hitbox also adds a few uses.
I'm actually shocked that they don't drop a potion ingredient, seeing as how they scream old-school-stereotypical-potion ingredient. I tend to enjoy them either way, though I wouldn't mind it if they weren't found at deeper levels or places that didn't have access to the surface world, but that would be difficult to code, I assume.

Why not just put bats back in caves? Trying to build a large place and it gets dark inside... Next thing it will be like just having well, ugh... A home full of bats.
You do know that you could just go in and delete the bat files and code... Right? I mean, it might take a little while, but if you hate them THAT much then just go ahead and do it.

Figured it was time for a change.
