Ymir vs the elephant fight

Why did Ray Harryhausen always have monster fights in his films? I am particularly thinking of the fight with the Ymir and the elephant.

I hate this scene and it's totally unnecessary. Yeah, I know both the Ymir and elephant are models but that's not the point.

It was the selling point of his movies.

That's like asking why cop movies have car chases in them.
