Most of the controversy isn't about their genetic makeup, even though that's a small part of it.
What you'd be missing by cloning a Neanderthal would be their culture, tribal habits, hunting patterns, etc. You can't clone behavior. The Neanderthal child would grow up exposed to moderm man's culture, not Neanderthal culture.
It'd end up being a freak in a sideshow.
