You're really asking why Data, at this early stage in the series, doesn't understand the value of "something intangible that cannot be replicated by technology"?
But I agree that Geordi's "sight" isn't particularly impressive when we get to see it. That's one aspect of the series that's unlikely to age well. My view (get it get it ha ha) is analogous to Gene's explanation for TOS Klingons: what Geordi really sees is much more complex, they just didn't have the budget to show it on TNG.
