One useful reason to go back would be to study the deterioration of the equipment left on the Moon from the Apollo landings.
Such data would be useful for the design of future space vehicles.

IIRC, it has been strongly speculated that the American flags left by Apollo 11 and the other missions are no longer red white and blue, but have become stark white. Bleached of all color by the harsh solar wind and extreme temperature variations over the better part of fifty years.
