6000 defense and higher is generally what we consider a defensive monster, because 5000 power is most common on size 2 or less monsters (although, more and more 6K beaters are being released in every set, so his effectiveness has diminished slightly). Some worlds don't even run 6K beaters usually, such as Magic World and Katana World, so he'll be forcing link attacks from them.

Additionally, since Halberd Dragon himself hits other 6000 defense monsters, along with his handy Move ability, he's an extremely versatile, well-rounded monster.

Also, he's just a badass.
