[Man of Steel] What was the point of Pa Kent's death?

I'm the old Superman movies and most comics, John dies of a heart attack, showing that even Clark, as Superman, can't save everyone. 

 But in Man of Steel, he lets him die to tell him what exactly? What's the message given here. 

And please don't bash the movie and say it's just shitty writing or whatever. I love this movie and have seen it more than 20 or so time, even though it does have a few... issues. But that death scene always irked me...

He refused to let his son be revealed at that young an age. If he was discovered as a kid the government and other organizations would have taken him away, he wouldn't be a man, he would be a slave.

He made sure Clark grew up a normal human, a man who knew the plight of the commoners, a Man who knows what it's like to know loss. Even if that mean sacrificing himself to preserve Clark.
