It's about recording the semantics so that they can be used later. Even if it is just so that the author/book creator can change something later.
Going back to the OPs question, there is no way to to change <span class="bold"> to <strong> correctly as every instance would have to be looked at to see if it each instance should be <b> or <strong>. A chapter header should be <b> (for example).
