Also, it sets up the whole Beater-hate thing that lingered throughout Vol.1.
However, based on the way the story played out in my head, I would want the story to them have its time-skip over to 2-years-later proper after Aria, showcasing the matured Kirito/Asuna, only to explore the pains and other mini-adventures that they had went through over the 2 years. (via flashback, or what not)
I stand to be proven wrong though, assuming the anime team decides to go full-chronological order.

Here's my guess:
2) Aria
3) Red Nosed Reindeer (there are so many scenes in the PV that I'm sure it's going to be an early episode)
4) The Black Swordsman (honestly, if Scilica weren't featured so prominently in the promotional art, I'd expect this to be an OVA)
5) Asuna makes dinner for Kirito
6) 75th Floor Boss Fight
7) Warmth of the Heart (flashback to explain Kirito's Dual Swords)
8) Kirito vs Heathcliff
9) Kirito as a Blood Knight/Asuna & Kirito get married
10) Morning Dew Girl
11) Fishing
12) 76th Floor Boss Fight
13) Final Battle
That would finish the SAO arc in a single cour. Of course it's always possible they might do Murder Case and show the coalition against the Laughing Coffins, which would stretch it a bit longer.
