The only groups that can challenge him are the Seanchan and the Shadow.
I think the AS with 100,000 soldiers under Gareth Bryne along with 1500 channelers (500 or so AS + 1000 new novices) would be more than a little difficult for Rand or the Seanchan to face ... not to mention GB will likely be recruiting even more hard core now ... I'd bet that by AMoL the Tower could have 300-500k soldiers ... and if they bring the Kin into the fold that will make nearly 3000 women with them!
They have not shown the slightest sign of being willing to crack the whip and get those aggressively recruited women ready in time to be useful to the Last Battle or Rand. Rand has plenty of soldiers and 2-3 Great Captains. Another 100,000 is a drop in the bucket, and what does Bryne know about fighting the Seanchan or Trollocs?

So what was the point of the White Tower struggle?

YES!! The SPLIT is important. So why is ENDING the split such a necessary goal?

Such a resolution could have been a minor plot point like settling Tear or Cairhien

So what? This is more or less true, but it has zero relevance to the issue of the Tower.
