Snoops, Sheldon agrees with you (aquaplaning doesn't affect bicycles).
Tread is used to appease customers that use conventional logic and it's a good wear indicator (it also allows you to embellish similar products with menial differences: marketing). Tread is important off road, but that's it.
Different compounds (hard/soft) will still come into play, also the profile of your tyre, etc.
