You could say the same for anime & manga by saying Tetsujin 28 (Gigantor) is not important to Anime & Manga history seeing how other Mecha series like Magaziner Z, Getter Robo and Gundam made it into the medium that it is today. Despite the fact that Tetsujin 28 help inspired those series in the first place (There would be no Mazinger Z and Getter Robo if Tetsujin 28 never existed because Go Nagai grew up with Tetsujin 28 as a young boy).
I do think older toku like Gekko Kamen and Golden Bat do have important history to them on how Toku is today. They should get respect and not be forgotten.
With Toku heroes it's different, though. The idea of costumed men fighting crime was around for ages. Something like Gekko Kamen isn't necessarily special simply because a television show about a costumed hero was, for all intents and purposes, an inevitability.
A show like Star Trek could be considered important, as could something like Doctor Who as well as Tetsujin 28, as they were concepts relatively unexplored in the public eye, only really seen in short stories for a niche audience.
But with the golden age of heroes booming in comic books, a show like Gekko Kamen isn't important besides the fact that it was the first out of the gate.
There was always going to be a toku hero show, even if Gekko Kamen didn't exist.
