Kili just as good as other dwarves

Dwalin and Balin get plenty of screen time and Bofur has quite a few important scenes (toying with Bilbo, catching Bilbo when he tries to leave). Kili and Fili are far more important than say Oin or Bombur. We know the less featured dwarves will have their time to shine in the next two movies. Yet another reason why a trilogy was needed to flesh out the dwarves.
Kili and Fili need screen time in order to make their demise far more poignant. We the audience must have a vested interest so their deaths have meaning. Kili has plenty of character, he is a young dwarf with a royal heritage yearning to prove himself and make his uncle Thorin proud. He is relatable because he likes to jest and his banter with Bilbo moves along the story like at the camp when Thorin scolds him and when Bilbo wishes to save the ponies from the trolls. He may be a Legolas type fan girl magnet but he is far better characterized than Legolas in FOTR. He may need more development but that should happen through the next two films. Bofur is still my favorite dwarf and Kili is maybe my fourth so it's not as if I need him to be the best or anything. I just think its bias to see him as undeveloped or boring simply because he is taking time away from dwarves some consider more interesting.
