i am by no means an expert.  But i have found hemostats extremely useful.  or is that function served by a different item?  
A lot of folks agree with you, but I've never felt the need for them, personally.  Direct pressure, elevation, compression, pressure points, and tourniquets will usually suffice for hemostasis.  I might add some clotting agents,though.  I consider field use of hemostats mainly useful for pissing off vascular surgeons.
