I think the stuff in museums should either be from that time period or recreations of actual objects from that time period (uniforms, weapons, important documents, etc).  These large statues are more about being an honorific than teaching history.

Well they do represent a part of our history; regardless of personal opinion. More of the attitude of those that created it than the person they are honoring.
