Yup, they couldn't get away with not having the Heli-Carrier.

It'd be like having Batman and never once showing the Batcave or Batmobile. You could do it and get away with it, but fans would whine.
I do wonder if by showing how easily it was almost taken out and having Banner go on about how it submerging would be cooler, that Whedon wasn't lampshading the lunacy of the concept and explaining why he won't use it in the future. Maybe in THE AVENGERS 2 (or the next time SHIELD shows up) they'll have a Sub-Carrier instead?

I'm pleased to report The Avengers offered both entertainment AND justification (spoilers seperated)

The Heli-Carrier is well established in the Marvel Universe as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base of operations.

It depends on which interpretation of the Hulk they are running with.

Hawkeye does basically state as much to Black Widow. They're made for a spy movie.
