Advantage to receiver with HDMI?

Can someone please explain the advantage to having a receiver with HDMI? I thought the best way to set up a system is to connect the HDMI from DVD player directly to TV and digital cable between DVD and receiver. Why get a receiver with HDMI??
thanks

So I have a question to go with this.

I only have 1 piece of equipment thats HDMI and its my DV-59avi. Which way should I go?

dvd player -hdmi- reciever -hdmi- Media Reciever -standard cable- plasma
or
dvd player -hdmi- Media Reciever -standard cable - plasma
dvd player -digital coax- reciever
or
dvd player -hdmi- plasma
dvd player -digital coax- reciever

with so many options on cabling I'm having a hard time deciding which would be better. all hdmi would be more expensive but if theres an advantage in some way I might do it.

thanks
