I can see what you mean by this, and agree with your points, but the main thing about IRC logs is that you can use them for benefitial purposes - say, proving about an user's disruptive behavior to a moderator, or simply finding an old link - which would, naturally, be eliminated should the IRC logs be deleted.

I guess the only way to work around that is to somehow make the logs private, which I don't think is possible...
