 So what good actually is the HDMI connection from the AVR to the TV if cable is running to the TV and optical from the TV to AVR?

It gives you better video quality than S-video and composite by a long shot, and arguable better than Component, depending on your source (in other cases, component will will look identical/better). It's also needed for displaying video from upconverted DVDs (players disable anything above 480p using component out for a million dumb reasons that I won't get into.)
