I don't see any value in removing this functionality.
If an attacker can cause arbitrary commands to run, *especially* as root,
the system is already compromised.
Knowing how long a system has been running is useful for any computer, not just servers.
For example, you might want to reboot after a system's been running for a while, and not
remember when you booted it. The "uptime" command is useful for that purpose.
