Well, one reason  for it is that 'alter database rename file' does not
require taking the database down, just offlining the datafile ( or
tablespace, too lazy to RTFM, you do it :)

Hi list,
What is the point to use "alter database rename file"
command to move datafile? as we will need to update 
controle file anyway. So why not do the following directly 
to move datafile:
 - alter database backup contrlfile to trace and modify 
the location of datafile.
 - startup nomount and run the script inorder to update 
the controlfile. It works fine...
So what is the point of "alter database rename file" command?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-Jalil
