The reason for the amnesia route is that White-Haired kaneki was too far gone in his singular mindset of dealing with things on his own that as a person and a character, he wouldn´t be able to develop further unless he faced the death experience shown when he met up with his past self and put Centipede back in its kage so he could get a chance to see things in a different perspective and not just be locked up for life. Starting a new leaf for even further character development that could have even greater implication and even altered the tragedy that Kaneki´s life was destined to become by letting Kaneki die, fullfilling the tragic part, so Haise can get a bittersweet ending at best. It was a great plotdevice to save Kaneki from the vengeful path of the Centipede and the One-Eyed Owl by killing him and grant him rebirth as a new person with insight in the human world once again and not the ghoul one he got pulled into by becoming Centipede and going on a rampage...

It was his redemption and a way to bring him back to his human roots once more, which was seen as he finally started acting like the nice kid we was introduced to as, with some lessons learned in badassery of course, in his development into a responsible adult.

As said.
