It is just about the maximum you can get without distorting the view of the website.
As for deleting vs. re-attaching, I can't be fussed with that. If the image is important, the poster will re-post it.

I said distort the page, not the image.
When I have to scroll the page to the right because some fool posted an image 1200 pixels wide, I don't really care how special YOUR screen is.

And then again, maybe not. But the issue is that the thread is now useless. Is it really the job of the moderator to make threads useless even if the user who posted the images made them too large?

Why yes, it is in fact, MY job to do exactly that.
And I have never yet made an entire thread useless -- in fact, I usually find people re-upload the image, properly.

Please take a few moments to read our Posting Guidelines, in particular the part about the maximum image size allowed (600x600 pixels). Images that violate those guidelines will be deleted.
Feel free to update your original post with an appropriately-resized image, or use our attachments feature (in the Go Advanced reply mode). 
Thanks.
