I wonder why people think of cemetaries where famous people are buried (or that commemorate great events) are more important than regular cemetaries.
You'll never hear anyone suggesting Westminster Abbey or Arlington be paved over! Why not? They're just a bunch of corpses. Hell, in the case of Westminster or other ancient European cemetaries, they're not even that anymore, they've long since turned to dust in many cases.
No, I see no reason to wreck cemetaries - OK, don't start up any new ones and have people who die future forward be cremated, but cemetaries are cool. Peaceful, they prompt one to think and to remember.
