While eval is an important part of Clojure, it's also very rarely used.
I've been working with Clojure for almost eight years now, and I've written
60 Clojure libraries. Despite that, I've used eval less than half a dozen
times.

Having a way of evaluating ClojureScript in ClojureScript is a nice
milestone that shows the maturity of the technology, and it's useful for
doing things like writing REPLs and interactive examples. But most of the
time it's simply not necessary.
