It’s symbolism.
One might ask, Why not just let the Angels in Heaven translate the Book of Mormon.. Build the temples, and teach/baptize the masses? That would be more efficient.
No doubt about it.
Winged creatures in myths are often symbols of angels or heavenly beings, and I think the Eagles in LOTR fill a similar role. The question is not whether or not the Gods can do it themselves… but whether or not we will.

I just spent fifteen minutes discussing with a LOTR nerd the reason why the eagles just didn’t take the ring to Mordor.

Or, the obvious answer: a suicidal charge on a bird with a couple people into a land defended with its own flying beasts
