Aside from security concerns, the only advantage you get from spliting the network with a router, *in a switched environment*, is broadcast control. Now broadcast control is a good thing, in some cases, but if you are just running IP without any broadcast intensive applications, you shouldn't have a problem running with one logical network.
Of course, if you are planning on extensive growth, or you are running other protocols, for broadcast hogs, or you want/need security between groups, or you just don't have anything else to do with that router, you can definitely keep it in place, and it won't hurt anything, or at least not much.
