Hayate fills an interesting role in the story, really, Nanoha and Fate are fighters. They handle beating the tar out of things that need the tar beaten out of them. Hayate is, in spite of her power, actually much more of a tactician and planner. She's very clearly being groomed for great things in due time, possibly taking over as one of the Admirals someday, and her rise may wind up shaking the notoriously corrupt Ground Forces down in the process.
She does not need to be horrifically powerful to do this, but the mere existence of her measured power rating lubricates gears speeding things along.
