HD audio is useless if you want to listen to audio that somebody else has prepared.
However, if you want to prepare audio (or any media) yourself, it helps to have input material that's much higher quality than your output format so that you can mess around with it and still have something that's at least a little higher quality than your output format.
I guess archive.org hopes that these recordings will be remixed and re-used and incorporated into future creations, as well as preserving their original form.
