You bring up valid points. I am not at all arguing we should strive for minimalism and reduce features that are actually used. If we are already using html emails for everything, why can't we embed the little build status widgets, plugins, tags -- whatever they are called -- that you find in many readme file on Github into html emails? Or it is great idea to have a plugin for your mail program showing the build status of your ci plugin next to the email about the pull/merge request?
