Well I can't say it's a bad thing rather it's a good thing. Preserve culture and tradition, don't let it become dissolved by neglect.
Necessity is irrelevant in this case. A monarch works as a symbol for the people, something invoking a feeling of patriotism. Nearly all the Dutch loved their queen, and so will nearly all Dutch love their king.
The monarch does not have any political power whatsoever, and only serves a ritual, symbolical and diplomatic purpose. The only argument against having a monarch would be ethics or the monetary costs of having one. However, people tend to favor tradition and cultural pride over such trivialities.
In short, the reasons for a monarch are pride and tradition, which are more important than you may think.
