As eschwartz asks, what would you propose as an alternative? The only other option would be that if you forgot the passcode of your Kindle, it would be permanently bricked. That doesn't seem terribly desirable.
The purpose of the passcode is to protect confidential information that you have stored on the device, and the fact that the only method of bypassing the code wipes the device serves that goal.
