I used to love the show, and watched every single episode. Was Klinger good for us? Probably not. But I try to view things in the context of the times, and it is gratifying to see that we've made so much progress on LGBQT issues. It would probably not be possible to have the same character in a sitcom today. And that is a good thing, IMHO. Seeing M*A*S*H reruns should make us grateful for that.
