But the main benefit proponents or rebase say its for keeping the history clean which also makes it easier to pinpoint and offending commit.

Personally, a clean commit history was never something that made my job easier.

I would agree that it is important for commits to go from working state to working state as you are working on a task, but this is an argument for atomic commits, not about commit history.
