Yes, considering the original poster mentioned KDE, and not GUI as a specific subject, I think making the point that KDE isn't necessary for server admin should be enough. A GUI initially may well be, otherwise nobody wouldn't go to the trouble of creating them. If there wasn't a function for them, they'd become obsolete like anything else. Moving away from a GUI is a matter of _personal_ evolution, not one on the part of the programme. All of us here should be able to understand that.
